Oh my! what a weekend.
Friday i went out with a friend to do some shopping, went to the cinema and went out to an indian restaurant.
As soon as i get home i see blood all over the floor, (i dont need to go into detail as some of you know my family situtation) i called ben and asked him what i should do, his mother called an ambulance and the police was here.
My mother was admitted to hospital, she had 10 stiches on her head and a very bad black eye. Ben drove to frankfurt to be by my side he arrived at 4 am and i still hadnt had any sleep!
I gave my mother an option, for her to come and live with me, or to stay in this situation.

I give up going back to my parents, Dont worry im not together with ben he is just being a really good friend right now.
I have found a nice ohh soo lovely apartment, its one room and the kitchen is cut off, I have to get some paper work done this week and then I get my keys! THEN FINALLY I CAN LIVE ON MY OWN WHOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But yes right now im staying in my old house.

My mother has decided to stay there, untill she gets better.
I literally dont know what to do for her, i have told her i will be there for her and everything will be alright when she leaves my dad but she doesnt really seem to get it into her head that she doesnt deserve anything like this!

So yes, can anyone send vibes, prayers to my mother to get well, and get her head clear, and for me to start a new beggining.



How are you all by the way?

Oh, no, Fran! I'm certainly sending your mother, and you, good vibes. Are you going to be able to afford your own place? Did the police take your father away for 24 hours, or is that only mandatory in my "Land"? Or does he have diplomatic immunity in such a case?
How is that going to affect your plans to return to Australia?

I'm sorry to hear about your mom Fran. I think you are doing all you can and that's the best that anyone can ask of you.

It's tough that you have to be in the middle of all that nonsense and my heart goes out to you.

Does your father ever feel any remorse or does he figure it's his God-given right to treat her this way? If she were to press charges what would happen with him? Is he still working for an embassy and would fear of people knowing about him be enough to make him stop this abusive behaviour?

Congrats on the new place Fran, I'm happy to hear that you'll be able to have a place all to yourself. You really deserve it.

I'm so sorry to hear about your mother though. You're absolutely right, she doesn't deserve it, and I really hope that she can find it within herself to get out of there as fast as she can! Plenty of vibes for your mother and also for you!!!!

Sorry to hear of this turn of events, Fran. No way does your Mum -- or you, for that matter -- deserve this! Sending love and prayers for both of you, to figure out next steps, and get some stability in your lives -- whatever that takes.

Fran, I still remember one of you 1st posts about your Mom. It's a sad situation that she is in-hopefully when she leaves your dad will can imporve. Remember that she will be needing lots of support though.
Its exciting to read that you are getting a place of your own. What will be your plans once you are settled in??

Fran, I am so, so sorry for what you and your poor mother are going through right now
.

Would your mother be open to just talking to some people? If you'd like, I can send you some links to agencies in Europe that assist people who are experiencing domestic violence.

Your father is not going to change. A recent study shows that basically the only thing that works with batterers is 3-5 years of INTENSIVE therapy that THEY initiate (meaning they cannot be forced into it by anyone or it will not work). So it's best to focus on you and your mother's safety and happiness.

Your mother may never leave your father. Unfortunately, that's the truth about domestic violence. However, if she stays, it is SOOO important for her to have a safety plan so that she knows what to do next time your father is violent.

Please let me know what I can do to help you both. You're in my prayers.
