not letting it get to me

So my mom moved out of her house on Saturday. My parents have been married for 32 years. By no means are they getting a divorce. My fathers mother lives with them and is ruining their marriage. She runs the household and my mom is left feeling worthless. My mom lost the sight in one of her eyes do to a blood clot a year ago. Due to that she has not been able to work. So she is stuck in the house with her mother-in-law who always has some little thing to say about everything she does. I am pissed at my grandma. Today when my mom went home to bring back her cell phone so my dad had one my grandma went off on my mom for leaving. It took all three of my sisters to keep me from driving the hour to tell her off. What a bitch. She will not be happy with me when I go there on wednesday and tell my dad how she treated my mother in her own home. I want my grandma out of their house. I know my mom is going to go home but I don’t want her to go back into that situation.

Five years ago my mom almost killed herself. She took a bunch of my pills and her heart stopped. That is why i am so upset with my grandma. She knows my mom is not emotionally strong. All my dad had to do was ask her not to leave but he didn’t. Love does not solve all problems. My mom just wants to feel needed and she doesn’t when my grandma is there.

Food has been fine. I walked a mile tonight on the treadmill.
