Moms Redemption
I have a meeting with another detective today from when I filed the first police report. I struggled with asking my mom to come with me for support. After discussing and getting my husbands opinion I called my mom. Yes, it was very hard and seemingly awkward for me to ask my mom to support me in something she never really supported me with in the past. I truly feel this will be an eye opening experience for her. Not only to hear the events that transpired over the course of close to two years, but also hearing from the law the seriousness of Alan’s crimes. You see in the past with my mom it seemed that she had the thought process of if I don’t talk about it and don’t address it and then I don’t have to deal with the hard stuff. See no evil, hear no evil, FEEL no evil. She never felt the evil. I had to live with that alone. So we will see what today holds for my mom. I fully anticipate her in complete tears as we exit the police station. Maybe this could be a long awaited bonding experience that I have needed for YEARS!

Not sure how much support she will be, but maybe this is the first step toward the relationship that you are wanting from her. But REMEMBER this is not about her………this is about YOU!!

I agree with JadedSoul. I’m glad she’s coming in “support” of you, but you’re the important one today and the one in need of encouragement and support, not her. Your relationship with your Mom is something you will be working on for a long time. Make sure that for today you put YOU first! I’m thinking of you.
