My mother was an enabler of alcoholics when my brother and I were children, but I do not need to go back that far to describe her despicable behavior. About 3 years ago, as she was mad at me because my attorney contacted her about my brother, instead of acting like a sane person, she contacted my brother to backtalked me. My brother, Jason, contacted me and started to harass me on the telephone. Fortunately I did not answer, but he left a message. This was a very sad time then anyways, we were doing a home euthanasia of my beloved Yorkie, Joey. Jason called exactly on this day. This is one recent example of my mother's abusive behavior. All she did was incite conflict between my brother and I. This is part of the problem: doing things that incited conflict between Jason and I.
