[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 464945, member: 6705"] Sweetheart, Food stamps, welfare and medicaid are all designed for people who need help. It's clear to me that you are [I]willing[/I] to work; whether you are able to or not is a whole different matter. There is [I]no shame at all[/I] in accepting [I]help[/I]. There's a HUGE difference between that and just taking, taking, taking. If you leave, and your mom calls the police? Um. There's not a lot the police can do besides write up a report: Mrs. X called, daughter is leaving, daughter has custody of her son. Fact is - you're an adult, and the police won't make you stay. From what you've described, your mom may have Borderline Personality Disorder (caveat: I'm no psychiatrist). Lots of people have it, some more than others (I can say that I fit the profile, at least to some extent). It's not easy to live with, especially if the person doesn't think there is anything wrong. You sound like you've been manipulated into a corner. (Of course, cornering a wild animal is dangerous, Know what I mean??) I agree with calling a DV shelter. They can help, even if you do end up toughing it out till SO gets there. :hugs: [/QUOTE]
