About a week ago, I took a trip with my (former :() girlfriend of over a year, to meet her family out of state. The trip went very well. I loved her family and I feel like that was mutual. The little brunch get together lasted a few hours longer than it was supposed to, not so much of a big deal. I called my mother afterward to tell her than I was going to be home a little later and that I would do the yard work that she had asked me to do that morning, the next day since I didn't have anything planned. She sounded understandably irritated, so we hurried home. By the time we finished the two hour drive my mother had become thoroughly intoxicated (She's a functioning alcoholic), and she started talking smack to my girlfriend who had done absolutely nothing wrong, she even sped most of the way home to get me there faster. After my mother went inside I kissed my girlfriend goodbye and apologized about it all, promising to take care of it. I went inside to attempt to calm my mother down. She screamed for a few minutes before leaving to go to the local bar. Returning a few hours later twice as drunk and twice as angry she continued yelling.. About how her life was suddenly falling apart because my girlfriend and I were supposedly doing all in our power to come between my mother and my stepfather. Which is completely fabricated. Anyway, it continues escalating. Up to the point where she started hanging around where we keep the firearms. A shotgun and revolver for home defense. As soon as she was out of sight I quickly hid both of them. She then started asking where they were so she could shoot herself and I could "have what I wanted"... I immediately started trying to calm her down, she just got angrier and angrier. She didn't want anybody around her and was trying to stay by herself. Which as her son I can't let happen. So I called the police to take her to the hospital so I could ensure that she was safe. I was meet by awful messages from my stepfather which I ignored. The next morning my mother returned from the hospital, furious because she thought i had called the police to somehow satisfy the urge to exert power over people. (Which she still believes)... There's the first tier of the story.. The next more important part is that while she was at the bar, she spent most of her time there sending god awful things to my girlfriend over Facebook. Somehow convinced that this was all her fault. When in reality it wasn't. The next day she sent me a text saying that it was better off that we break up so she wouldn't cause me anymore problems... It shattered me. We had been talking about our future days before. I was already saving up to buy this girl a ring. I spent the following days trying to convince her of the truth, that she had only ever made my life better since she's been a part of it. She wouldn't believe me. She thought that my mother would try to come between us. So I tried my hardest to make sure that wouldn't happen. I made a deal with my mother that I would stop playing video games entirely if she promised to let me stay with Olivia.. this may seem a little stupid. But that's kinda all I do. That's my second love and I was willing to give it up to stay with my baby, my mother agreed. I called my girlfriend back right after saying I made sure that she wouldn't come between us, that I couldn't promise anything (I'm careful with my word) but I was confident in my deal... She still refused. She said she loves me, but she doesn't believe me. I don't know what else to do... I'm out of leverage. I don't have anything else to give. I need some help if any of you think you can?
