Mom's New Crazy Boyfriend

Hi, Well I am a sophmore in college and I am very close to my mom. My parents have been separated for 2 years and recently got divorced. My mom began a relationship with this guy a year ago and he would disrespect my mother as well as me. He would call me and my sister out our names and say that we were stuck up and selfish. I did not and do not like him. My mom ended their relationship. About 5 months ago they began their relationship up again and I still do not like him and he continues to do the same disrespectful things. I tell my mom that I don’t like him and I hate how he treats her because she deserves so much more but she says its her life and I have to live with it and if I don’t I can go with my father. Am I wrong for not liking this guy and not giving him a chance even though my foolish mother has given him 2 chances already!! I am on the borderline of tears because my mom has went through a bad divorce where my father disrespected her and now she is getting back in the same mess all I want is the best for her and she don’t see it!!! I have a bad attitude and so much anger built up to this guy that he does not come around when I am home from school. I am afraid my anger and hate for him will erupt and I will do some harm!!! Someone please give me some advice because at this point I am so lost!!! Thanks!!!

My mom always has some new crazy a$$ of a boyfriend. She even married one of them, but it only lasted a few months. I haven’t liked any of them , and it isn’t because I don’t want her to be happy and be with someone, it’s just that they all treat her like sh*t and she does deserve better. The thing is though, you can’t really help you’re attracted to and who you love. They just happen to be attracted to people who want to take advantage of them. There isn’t anything you can do except remind her of how wonderful and beautiful she is. Don’t tell her she deserves better, it will only make her sad. It is just how life goes. If Ell was crazy, which she pretty much already is, I wouldn’t care, there is just something about her that I love. I wouldn’t leave her. The only time that a person should really be required to leave is if they are still raising their children. It sucks, and they do deserve better, but all you can do is help them to realise it by telling them WHY they deserve better. Good luck, Brian D.
