The visit to the lawyer was rather successful. I can't say it was incredibly enlightening, as most routes they suggested (I spoke to two lawyers together) were just not feasible at this time. I can't imagine the hell my mom would go through if she began divorce proceedings right now. Once Greg and I are gone, who will be left? Matt's never home (who can blame him) and I don't know how she'd cope. Taking the money away from him was suggested, but my mother can't be trusted to pay bills and my father would probably have even more of a fit.
I just think it has to be done fast, all at once. But they were still very helpful. They told me about involuntary committal and now I have someone to call the next time my father goes crazy and gets taken by the police.
It just made me feel better about my family and about everything else going on right now. The entire system is so confusing and vast; it was nice to speak to someone who actually knew what was going on. I've been sick with worry, but now I feel a bit better. I'm still worried, but just a little less. For now, it's a start.
Now, it's just waiting. I need to stop reading into things so much- half the time I worry I only see what I want. My indecision kicks in bad, and I worry equally about reading too much into things and not reading enough into them- I don't want to offend or injure by seeing something not there, but I don't want to hurt by not catching something. It'll be obvious when it's important. I'm just going to feel a bit better and think of how fucking awesome it will be when these things are over
