Mother seems brainwashed..Help!?

Question

My mother started dating a male from the middle east 4 years ago, and now they are married. A few months after they got married, my mom started wearing this head-dress thing, alot of our food changed, she doesn't really talk much anymore, and she started smoking..(Her husband smokes about 2 packs a day, and she does too.) What should I do?! I could always move with my dad, but my mother raised me....

Answer 1

Who cares if she's happy? If you're not get the h**l out of there and move in with your dad, I mean as long as he's nice and normal.

Answer 2

live with your dad????

Answer 3

im sure she is a grown lady, if thats what she wants to do let her do it. as long is there is no physical/emotional abuse involved and ur mother is happy let her be. if u think he is forcing her then u can try to talk to her but if he isnt forcing her to change i am sure she is doing it out of her own free will.

goodluck

Answer 4

It seems that she has changed her normal ways just for this man. That is very sad. She should never yell at you for asking her a question like that. Don't worry about if she raised you or not, if you feel more comfortable with your own father, then move in with him. It seems to me like her new husband is giving her specific "Rules" to follow, and she is doing it. She may be under his control and that is why she yelled at you. Because she doesn't want to go against his wishes. That's really sad. She should really get some help. Don't live in that situation, you are only concerned about her, and if she can't accept that, that tell her you can't live with a changed person. Just leave.  

Answer 5

does she seem happy?

Answer 6

Shes a grown woman and if she is happy with what she's doing then let her be. However if you don't feel comfertable then let her know.  

Answer 7

Im sorry to hear that.. You should try and talk to her about it...I mean brainwashed or not brainwashed ur still her son and she should have the time to listen to you..

Take Care bro and hope everything works out for u

Answer 8

this is a troublesome one.

Have you tried just talking to her about how you feel?

just make sure that you are alone and that she listens.

what can you lose by just talking??

Good luck :)  

Answer 9

Many women change to please the man they love, even if they don't need to. Your mother felt a need to cater to something her new husband wanted. Unless you notice him being overly controlling and angry, or her showing signs of abuse and an unhealthy mental status (not just change) then there is probably nothing going on other than your mother changing a few things to make him happy. If you can live with this, stay with your mother, she raised you and loves you. If you can not handle this, explain to your mother that she has changed a lot, and you are not sure you can keep up with all of the changes, so you would like to go live with your father.
