quote:

I have a hard time respecting my own mom, and I feel lovely about it.

My mom is just very, I don't know, immature? She'll be 50 in a couple years, but she acts like a dramatic high school girl about everything. Mostly her new husband, which is the bulk of my issue. I know I know, "step dad issues" but he's legit terrible.

They've been together for like 10 years and got married a year ago. Even up until the marriage, her complaints were always the same: his family. He spoils his kids, three of which have already had multiple DUI's by age 30. He and his ex wife just don't do poo poo about it. They're small town Iowa morons who all drink and party like they're kids. So my mom would get pissed and they'd fight. I'd get a call about this pretty much every other week from the time they were together. He also would occasionally be very emotionally abusive to her, say things like he could never love her and that they were done. This would flip flop a week later.

Marriage didn't change this, surprise surprise. Now one of his deadbeat sons lives with them and does not clean or do anything. So they fight, she calls me crying and lamenting how she loves him though. What's important is that she also always says "I'd have nothing without him."

This is true to an extent. She works part time at a grocery store and couldn't live on her own with that money. She's lost like 4 jobs over the last 10 years, almost always because she was just too confrontational and didn't know how to suck up just enough to a boss. Being a dramatic teenager doesn't help. So while she is correct that she'd be screwed without him, it's hard to feel that bad about it since she's almost 50 with no savings or anything due to her personality. Based on her education and work experience, she can't expect much more.

Anymore when these calls happen regularly, where she cries and talks about some horrible thing he said, I just space out and wait to reply. It's a conversation I've had hundreds of times. I explain that he's a jackass and nobody should have to deal with it. He's an admitted racist, homophobe and sexist. Granted, she defends a lot of the racist poo poo because she's not the best on that either. I've told her multiple times that I don't respect him as a person, and that's even aside from how he treats her. She says she knows, and a week later I get the call that they're fine again. So I wait another week for her to call upset and "joking" about living with me. Which I'll just say now, never gonna happen.

It's to the point I don't want to go over to their place anymore. I'll have lunch with just her, but I hate sitting there and entertaining the notion that he's a decent person while they passive-aggressive fight in front of me.

I feel like a terrible son. I just don't even want to talk to her for weeks at a time sometimes. It's always drama, and it's usually the same poo poo. It stresses me out, because I've run out of answers and advice which clearly isn't being listened to. I just stare into the void while she rambles on and I occasionally insert a "right" or "mm hmm."

I'm thinking about telling her I just refuse to be around him again. I'll have lunch with her and call her, but I'm not going to their house ever again. To me it's either that or just dealing with a crying sobbing phone call regularly fwhile I silently sit there and wait to offer advice that won't be heeded until one of them dies.

anon tell your mom to get a divorce

What's she got to lose? You're grown up and everything (not that that matters, but The Kids are a lot of people's excuse not to end their marriages), she's obviously miserable. Tell her to get a divorce and if she tries to brush it off tell her you're serious and refuse to let the subject change. Do this enough times and either she'll listen or she'll stop talking to you about it.

Freemasonry person: I've been a Freemason for 12 years, and I presume you have not. The things you describe don't match my experience at all, and I have first-hand experience with somebody who wanted to become a Freemason but then didn't because his Priest said no. So I guess my last post should have said "very few" instead of "nobody".

The official position of the Catholic church on Freemasonry isn't something that lapsed in medieval times. The church has put out an official statement on it as late as 1983: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papal_ban_of_Freemasonry#Current_position_of_the_Church_on_Catholics_joining_the_Fraternity

The confessor made it pretty clear that she's broke. Her only other option besides staying with the rear end in a top hat is to move in with her son. Which if you love your mother, confessor, you will do if she asks. Yeah it sucks but the alternative is her staying in her abusive relationship or dying alone in destitution

I would absolutely admit publicly if you were right, I just wouldn't publicly say which one it was.

But this one isn't right. Sorry! (Keep trying though, this is a fun game :))

Here's that puppetmaster submission, since you asked.

That one didn't count, so:

Drinking problem goon here. Just wanted to say I haven't had a drink in a week now. I'm not giving up on alcohol, but I'm gonna try to keep it confined to weekends and special occasions.

Good! Try that for a while and see how you do with it -- if you end up binging every weekend, maybe you'll need to scale it back farther, but don't worry about that just yet. Baby steps.

That one was also really short, so:

quote:

his the lamest thing to confess but I really like doing complicated 1000 piece (or more) puzzles. I know it's a grandma thing to be into but it's really relaxing to me. I do mostly landscapes or puzzles of famous artwork so if I like the finished product I'll fix it together and put it up. I donate any puzzle I finish and don't do that with. I get and complete about 10 of them a year and keep 1 or 2. Over the last 5 years I've probably completed about 50-60 puzzles.

It hasn't bothered me much but I got out of a long relationship earlier this year and recently started dating again so my dumb anxiety brain is freaking about it. My last boyfriend didn't care and I do a bunch of other things but I don't know how to bring it up and not feel awkward about it. I don't want to surprise a guy coming over to my place with my wall of puzzles.

Don't worry too much -- it's just a quirky hobby and will come off as such. How many on the wall are we talking, though? The 50-60 number seemed to be total finished, not total walled.

That is kind of a lot of puzzles on the walls unless you have a whole house. Absolutely keep doing puzzles if you like them, but yeah a lot of guys are gonna be shitheads, big shock.

Puzzle goon, I do the same thing but with cross stitching. I think it is pretty and if I dated someone who was skeeved by it I wouldn’t wanna date them anymore anyway.

Goon with mom in abusive relationship, you are absolutely right to set boundaries with her. She is draining your mental energy so she can use it to stay with her husband. That is like 100% terrible for both of you. Set whatever boundaries you feel are appropriate (the ones you said I think are good), but be ready for mom to try and guilt you into crossing them. She’s mentally dying in a toxic relationship and you’re the only thing that’s prevented it from going completely tails up, so it’s very likely she will react poorly to you declining to be used as a spare battery anymore. Best of luck.
