I don't want to put too many details on here for fear of outing. My mum is ready to leave my (quite controlling) Dad. It's got worse for her since I left home, and she's decided she cannot cope with it any longer.
Like I say, I don't want to put huge amounts of detail on here in case it outs me, or it somehow got to him. My mum isn't at risk of violence, but my dad is controlling with who she sees and when (think family), finances, and has a habit of wearing her down until she just is weary of it all and just submits to doing it his way.
I'm helping her and she's coming to me for space.
I just need a space to vent, and to ask questions of a practical nature so I can support her in the best way I can.
This is crazy, but I'm proud of her for realising her life isn't over and she has so much left to do.
We are communicating only when she is alone and I've advised her to wipe her messages and call lists from me every day. I don't think he'll be stupid; because everything is joint. But I've advised her to take copies of everything for proof it exists, and to gather her personal documents.
Is there anything else? Practical/emotional considerations? Thank you in advance.
