So, my mother calls me a couple of hours ago crying...my stepfather had beat her and done other horrible things to her. She is four hours away and wants somewherre to stay. I told her I would have to talk to my husband...my husband said he would support me in my decision. He said that if I was not ready to say no, don't say no. I know that I should have said no, I really do. I realize I am enabling her, but in the back of my mind there has always been this little glimmer of hope-that she would wake up and realize what she is doing. Anyway, I told her she could come up and stay. I told her that this would be the last time, I cant do this again. I told her that she cant have my stepfather her ever again, or they will both be kicked to the curb. In the meantime, I know that my husband said he would support my decision, but I am worried that it will cause problems between us. We were already having problems before that we are working through and now this. I feel so helpless. I don't know what to do.
