(((((birdpumpkin))))) I agree that you have enough to deal with as it is. Alas, it's true that some people just don't understand why a woman wouldn't just take off and leave a miserable marriage.

Maybe you'll need to stay away from your mom or make your visits shorter for right now. We are here for you and we care.

You are to be commended for handling things so well, given what you are going through. Please make sure to take care of yourself. Okay?
