Hello A2K, I'm new here.
Anyways, I've got a little problem with my mom, and soon to be step father.
Not long ago, my mom ended a long relationship with a guy I really liked, named "Dave". I got along pretty good with him, and I considered him more or less my step-dad. When him and my mom broke up, it wasn't really a big deal to me, it seemed friendly, and I keep in touch with him. My younger brother's girlfriend works for him, and he is the god-father of my nephew.
Immediately after the break-up my mom was dating this new guy. The thing that really blew my mind, is even after being with Dave for about 5 years, she always had kept her own place. She spent the majority of her time at his house, but she always had her apartment. Anyways, within 2 weeks of beginning the new relationship with "James", she had given up her apartment, moved in with him completely, and sold alot of her belongings.
For about a month, I didn't meet this guy, as I moved away for school, and can only return home every few months. My very first night meeting him, I was in town staying with my brother and his family, and my mom invited me over for dinner. I drove over there, and me and my mom made dinner together while we waited for James to get home from work. He eventually showed up, and it was clear to me he had been drinking and driving. Later that night he opened 2 bottles of wine for dinner, and since me and my mom never have more than one glass with dinner, he drank the rest. Afterwards he insisted he needed to go to the liquor store, but I couldn't let him drive after drinking all that wine and God knows what else before that. I told him I would drive to the liquor store for him, since I needed cigarettes anyways, but he told me to take his car so I don't waste my own gas. No argument
When I got into his car, the first thing I saw was, a mirror laying on the passenger seat, with a straw and a credit card on it.
I may never have done drugs, but I've seen enough movies to know exactly what that was for.
My concern is, this guy's drug and alcohol problems seem incredibly obvious, my mom is an RN, there is no way she can't see it.
Why would she give up her own home and life to go and live with this guy?
And how can I talk to her and tell her how concerned I am?
