PPS, I need serious help.
My family is going through really hard times.
To put it in a nutshell, we've known our builder for twelve years.
He built our first house, so we hired him again.
We gave him $170,000 for a down-payment.
Guess what?
He took it and ran.
Now my mom is under huge stress.
She cries on an almost daily-basis.
It's so hard hearing my mom sobbing late at night.
It's so hard seeing her crying in the living-room chair.
It's so hard hearing her talking about how she wants to blow her brains out.
Everyday, I want to tell her about how much I love her.
But I never can.
She's either on the phone with a lawyer, or crying in bed, or at work.
When I do get a spare moment, I chicken out and lock myself in my room.
I wrote a letter for her in one of my notebooks, and I want her to see it.
But I'm also afraid.
I'm afraid of her saying, "That's lovely, now go away."
The only time she wants to talk to me is when she wants a shoulder to cry on.
It hurts my feelings, but I still love her.
She's my mom, and she hasn't totally disowned me yet.
My father has, though.
I can't talk to him without being called names.
I have no clue on what to do about my mother, though.
I want to confront her, but I'm terrified.
What should I do?
Oh, and please no "Oh. Sucks for you." or "Talk to her."
I've tried talking to her.
She ignores me completely, or tells me to go away.
