I am so glad that you finally sat down and talked to her, but am totally horrified that she said that she was "joking"??? Really? Honestly, that is a cop out on her part, she basically skirted the real issues by saying that. Doesn't sound like she wants to address her hurtful comments at all. As an outsider with the information you give, your BF definitely has his priorities all messed up. To go and buy a truck with $600 a month payments when you guys are still under his mother's roof is totally irresponsible of him, as it was for her to co sign for him when he doesn't have a stable job. She is basically stuck with the payments for the next 6 or 7 years if he doesn't pay them or her credit goes into the toilet. And she has the nerve to say you aren't pulling your weight. I think she is probably kicking herself for doing this and taking it out on you instead of her dear son. He did not need to get something as fancy as you describe for work purposes....he could have gotten a nice used truck (a few years old) for far less. Again, I think he is very comfortable living with his mother and why wouldn't he be? AS long as she pays his bills, why would he want to move out into the cruel, cold world and have to work and pay for them himself? To be honest, I think you would be better off alone, with your dad....at least you wouldn't be caught in the middle of this mess. But in the end, it is your call. Hang in there...and thinking of you, Jenn 40 w/CF
