I need some advice concerning dealing with my MLC'er and family.

My mother is having an extremely difficult time with this. One minute its forget about her. Next minute, its you(Drew) have to do something about this.

I have tried to explain to her that this something that my WAS has to deal with on her own.

My mother believes that I need to stop the fall or at least cushion the fall.

My mother is having an extremely difficult time understanding how my WAS has abandoned us, especially our son. She can't understand why the WAS can just walk away. Of course, she my mother does not want me to ever forgive her and never have a relationship with her, but I should help her for the sake of our son.

How do I approach this issue with her?
