da lady who had bin feedin Felinda anz her kiddens is stayin wif her aboosif husband, even tho she knows dat he will probably kill her wun day. She tolded mom, "I've been with him 30 years and I loves him. If I can tolerate this treatment for 30 years, I can continue to do so, for the sake of the children and grandchildren." Mom wuz so shocked anz stunned, she didn't know whut to say. After a few minutes absorption of dis news, den mom said, "Well, no matter whut, I am still your friend. I don't agree with this decision you're making, but it's not my life, it's yours, and you have to do what you think is right." Mom felt like screemin on da insyde, tho. Dat evil man anz dat lady r being evicted cuz of hims nonpayment on da rent, so dey is moofin away next week. Even tho mom will miss her friend, she will be glads when dey moof. Dis has tired mom owt anz her nerves are frazzled--her energy frum deelin wif dis situashun haz lefted mom drained in effury way.

Mom did her bestest to get dat lady owt of dere, tryin to get an abuse shelter dat Mom's MIL set up years ago to take dis lady in, helpin dis lady wif food anz abowt $300-$500 worth of goot clothes dat wur donated by sum of da tiny-sized lady friends mom has who haf lotsa money to buy a new wardrobe effury year anz dese clothes are practically new clothes dat r cast-offs by da wealthier friends of mom's.

Dis is furry sad but not uncommon. Sumtimes da purson bein abused wrongly feels they're not worthy of better treatment, speshally if dey wus mistreeted when dey wus a kid, or that they chose the abuser so they have to stay with him/her, or meny otfur "reesins" dat not be rite.
Dere is nuffin elz your mom cooda done.
Ower mom knose a lady who shooda lefted a situashun a dozen yeers ago. Other furriends eben giffed her a list ob tings to do (kinda a guideline of gettin hur duks all inna row) an offered help an movin to a noo pwace. Dere wus effen a job offur. She's still dere, misserable an, sadly, no one tries to help enymore an when enybodie sees hur, all hur talks about is how bad hurr life is) Hoomis can be a sad lot.

missed opportunity fur dis lady. Her dotter offered to also come awl da way frum Missouri to git her to come lif wif her, her hubby anz dere two small sons inz dere big howse. Da dotter wur sposed to be heer yesfurday anz wur called not to come by da lady, dat she wur stayin wif her husband afterawl. Two missed opportunities anz dere prolly won't be anymores. Da shelter whare mom wur first gonna take dis lady to wulda gotted her a new playce to lif, wurked on getting hers a driver's license, possibly a jobie anz a car.

Mom felt defeated az she lefted dat lady's rental mobile home behind mom. Mom iz unattachin herownself frum dis situashun so dat she can git sum of herown energy anz sanity back. Weze know dat dis sownds terribul on mom's part, but she will be glad whenze dey moof away next week. She dunno whare dey is moofin to anz donts wanna know.

Youse mommy did hers bestest an safed some needy kittys along da way. Dat wat hers needs to memember. It best to bak away now an worry on what hers can control.

We're sorry to hear that, but you can only help people to the extent that they are willing to be helped. GLOW for your mommy to help her cope.
