my oldest brother has been married for 32 years and out of the blue his wife filed for divorce. she didn't even tell him, he found out from his coworker who was looking for something on the internet.

the reason for the divorce, she's in love with someone else, she's an educated woman and it's beneath her to cook and clean for her husband and children. oh i'm sorry was my mother suppose do all of that for you? oh wait a minute she did and raised your children for you too! but that's another story.

they lived with my parents from the time they got married, my father is dead now so he doesn't have go thru this, but my mother is very much alive and very much stressed out.

i became my mother sound board. she is very angry at my brother and her soon to be ex daughter in law.

she takes her anger out on me, and my brother and his kids use me.
whenever the phone rings my heart drops down to the pit of my stomach and WHAT NOW is screaming thru my head!

my mother is elderly so i do all of the driving for her, and if she's not feeling well i cook and clean for her. this i can handle, but the verbal abuse it stressing me out so much that i actually shake.

my hubby gets so upset when my brother and his kids come over. when they leave he gives me the silent treatment.

i can't tell my mother and brother that my hubby gets upset when they come to visit, and there is a lot of things that i don't tell hubby. the things that i did tell him i got no emotional support from him, instead of giving me a hug he tells me off.

it's like a woman without a country.
