HELP!! Embarrassed to have to do this but do not have a choice. Ryan and I are victims of severe abuse and we are trying to save ourselves. My mom has a drinking/gambling problem. Everyone is human and makes mistakes. But this time she remortgaged the FREE house she got from her boyfriend that passed away. She gambled half her Florida home away. She cashed it in and hit the casinos all summer long. She has stolen a large sum of money from me a year ago also. In that time we have been insane getting our lives together. I told not a soul to protect my mom. I was embarrassed for her. She not only did a reverse mortgage on a free home she was left, but her boyfriend hated gambling! After doing that and stealing from me, she actually still came back to Connecticut for the summer. She has absolutely no remorse for the pain she has caused me and Ryan. Absolutely none. She put a huge pause on our perfect life and traveled all summer long and gambled on my dime. I have paid a third of her bills for many years. I have supported Ryan (who had a heart attack and received no state money). I have also supported myself and some of my mom's bills. When she came home this summer in June, she was not even here for 24 hours and she actually STOLE my checking account money. She told Ryan she needed to change my Eversource provider or something like that. She stole around $1800 that day. That created my car payment, mortgage, and many other things to bounce. I went back to my house and yelled at her for touching my money WITHOUT my permission. This is at a credit union in Meriden. My neighbor who heard shouting called the police. I was arrested for domestic disturbances and anger violence. I have never been in a fight in my life or would touch my mother. She lied to the police and said Ryan and I were fighting about money. She also got a new phone that day and charged it to my account. I was supposed to be leaving for Nantucket with my friend Jessica the next day. My mom, unfortunately, is very jealous and vindictive and wasn’t happy I was going away with a friend and she wasn’t. That’s when she took the $1800. I wrote to my mom's side of the family. Told them what had happened. Most of them believed me but didn’t know what to say or do. Some of them did not respond. I didn’t know she was turning us all against each other so we wouldn’t communicate or no one would find out what she did. I now have anger classes Saturday from 10-11:30 until Feb 15th. All of this has been going on for a year now. Around August 1st she said to Ryan and I, “I messed up, I want to fix things.” She said she was going to take out ANOTHER loan from her Florida place and at least pay off my credit cards for me. I redid my family home. I charged 40 grand and paid it off. Then I charged 38 thousand. My balance was down to 13,000. She received her loan and took off to Atlantic City again with my credit cards. My credit score at that time was 765. It is now 411. She tried to get me into a debt consolidation program behind my back. There was nothing to consolidate!!! I have not seen my cards since. I have them canceled and they now know what’s going on. My credit is destroyed. I need to pay off my balance and get a new credit card and start my credit over again. It’s easy to do but didn’t think at 43 I would have to do this. I asked her why she did this to me after I have treated her like gold all of these years. She told me, “I figured you received money from your grandparents when they passed.” You have no idea what a woman in her 70s can do to a man in his 40s. I reached out to my dad's family a week ago. They were so good to me and instantly believed me. My young cousins sent us money and so did the family. My depression has gotten better. The warmth of my family helping me and hearing from them warmed my heart. My physical pain is gone. It was depression and stress. I didn’t even know. My mom's name is on our house. I made a mistake many years ago by doing that. She tried getting me to put it in my name 3 times and I didn’t. I was scared if something should one day happen with my business I didn’t want them to take our home. We just found out yesterday she is selling our home NOW. Privately she had people over to see it yesterday and has someone today and Monday. She has refinanced 4 times behind my back. She has remortgaged the shit out of the Florida home she got from Tom. Now she is selling our home (mine and Ryan’s) and going to Florida back to her home and gamble and travel leaving us homeless. She will not take a lie detector test. I will take a drug test and also a polygraph test. She is looking to destroy me and take off. Please help us. My family has and still are helping us. I am just getting back to working full time again. We don’t need much but please donate anything from 1 dollar to anything. This money is being used for moving and a fresh start. We are not asking for much money we are very simple people. We would like to stay in Meriden and continue my business. It has been a pure joy working with the public making such good friends and connections. My mom was an excellent mother growing up. I am blessed. But as she has gotten older, alcohol has changed her along with the loss of Tom. She is angry and literally has robbed us beyond belief and now selling our home. Please help us dear friends. Love, Paul and Ryan
