[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 614392, member: 13542"] PG, that's a tough one. I agree with Annie and Lil, you can love your mom but not agree with her choices and even though this is a huge choice that she is making, as we all know, relationships are tricky and can rarely fit into a black and white world. We all live in that vast grey area........ If you love your mom and you miss her, if it were me, I would just call her and tell her the truth, that you are appalled at her husbands behavior, that you do not understand how she could stay with him and that you miss her. Those are the facts, seems like a good place to begin and then allow it to evolve in a way that works for you. I think sometimes when folks get older, the fear of being alone outweighs a lot, she may be lonely and even though he is obviously missing some screws, he still may provide her with companionship. It may be worth it to you to open the door a crack, tell her how you feel and what your misgivings are and just see where it goes. Good luck.......... [/QUOTE]
