Well, Ryan, this cannot be an easy situation for you or your mother....I can hear the anger behind your words in some ways, so if Im wrong point it out. I grew up with an ahole for a father, who left every year twice a year till one year he left for good. He thought I was a talentless waste, with no skills to survive in the realworld. I think the idea that your mother will undergoe change and needs to be supported is true. A break up is a very hard thing, even when you are begging for it, and know its the right thing to do. Be there for each other, you are so young and have so much a head of you, dont let it taint you like it did to me...Let go...just let go.....
