Default Re: To Many Years To Many Mistakes

How long has this been going on? Could it be a mid-life crisis?

I ask because my step-mom(she adopted us, and was married to my dad for 20yrs) and she left him one day. Left us(even though we were adults) and her son with my dad who was 16 at the time. She told my dad that he made the last 20 years of her life a living hell. (I felt it was directed at me because I was a big part of that 20 years). She was my BFF for a little bit when she turned 40. All my life she was against drinking(my dad used to be a drunk and has sense cleaned up), she used to be against drugs, and partying, etc. And she used to go to church off and on and drag us with her. Today she is doing drugs, living the college life(she's 51) and drinking and all kinds of other stuff. She's been with 3 guys since she left my dad...I feel it may be a mid-life crisis, which I hope thats all it is.

Has this been discussed in your situation?

It got so bad with me that I haven't talked to her in 6 months! This woman was technically my "mother" and I won't ever plan to talk to her again. I'd hate for it to get that bad with you...:-(
