Listen I understand how you feel my mother in law just shut me and my children and her son out of her life because she didn't like that someone stood up to her now I would never tell anyone to just cut their mother out she should be happy for you and its not your fault she is not she has had a lot of pain and you should come to realize this it is not an easy thing she must of loved your father no woman would just stay out of spite she did it for you and your sister and your father she gave up her happiness to make sure you didn't come from a broken home even though it most likely would of been better off if you did im so sorry follow your heart on this.
You are your father's son! You should have hated your father for cheating on your mother and hated his mistress for destroying your family and deeply hurting your mother. Yes your mother should have divorced your abusive father.
But like so many other women, she was probably hoping that since your father didn't divorce her to be with this other woman, then maybe he loved her and some day would leave this other woman. How your mother treated you and your sister was wrong. But let's face it, you treated your mother just as badly as your father did.
You liked this woman and approved of your dad's relationship with her. How awful for your mother that her husband and even her own children are against her and think the tramp your father is sleeping with is wonderful. Maybe the truth is, your mother it's a racist and your wife being black has nothing to do with the way she treats her.
Maybe she wants her own son to know how it must of felt for her, when you turned your own back on her. Maybe she thinks by her refusing to accept the woman you are married to it will give you a clue to how she felt when her family turned their back on her.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
