People have mentioned to watch is south maybe down the sound? Just not sure since I think parking will be a struggle

I know there’s two in Douglas, ‘simply sew’ and ‘sew what’ just wondering if there were others in the island anywhere?

They’ve always argued from time to time, and sometimes it can get pretty bad. They’re both at fault in different ways, but my mum can become violent when things escalate.

When she’s sober, she’s genuinely one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. But whenever she and my stepdad have a serious argument, she turns to alcohol, and that’s when everything spirals. I’ve seen them argue before and I’ve seen how bad she can get, but last night was probably the worst I’ve ever experienced.

My sister usually works late, so she doesn’t witness any of it. It’s normally me who ends up stepping in when things get out of hand. Last night, I walked into the room and my mum was throwing furniture around. She threw a large glass vase at me, along with her wine glass. I’ve ended up with cuts all over my body.

At that point, I had to pin her down on the floor and asked my stepdad to call the police, but he refused. I wasn’t trying to hurt her—I was only trying to stop her from hurting herself or anyone else. While I was holding her down, she was saying some really hurtful things to me, telling me, “Don’t ever call me Mum again,” and “You’re no son of mine.” She also kept saying she wanted to go back home to Asia and never see my face again.

I think she believes I’m taking my stepdad’s side, but that’s not true at all. Eventually she calmed down and went to bed, but this morning she’s still angry and doesn’t want to speak to any of us except my sister. The problem is that my sister is supposed to be going on holiday today, so she won’t be around. I honestly don’t know what to do or how to approach my mum right now, and I’m struggling myself because the whole situation has really affected me.

Like I said, when she’s sober she’s a wonderful person, but she simply can’t control her drinking. I’ve been telling her for years that alcohol is becoming a serious problem and that she needs to slow down, but she never listens.

Part of me worries that if she did go back home permanently, things would only get worse. I’m afraid she’d end up drinking even more, partying constantly, and making even more destructive decisions.

The difficult thing is that my mum lives a very privileged life. She cheated on my biological dad when I was very young and eventually got together with my stepdad. My stepdad is fairly wealthy, so she doesn’t work. He provides for her and gives her pretty much anything she wants.

To be fair, he’s also done a lot for our family, particularly for her side of the family in Asia. My stepdad has sent them money whenever she’s asked, bought her a large house back home, and even helped create several businesses there in her name. At the same time, I think she feels he can be controlling. For example, if she wanted to go out partying with friends, he’d often strongly disapprove or tell her not to go.

I’m not saying we should blindly agree with everything he says just because he has money. But I do think she sometimes forgets how much he’s done for her and for her family. The truth is that without his support, we probably wouldn’t be where we are today.

She’s angry with me because she thinks I listen to my stepdad more than I listen to her. The reality is that I’m trying to be objective. If I followed some of the choices she’s made, I’m worried I’d end up going down the same path she has.
