To participate, call her at 212-746-3751 or maltemus@med.cornell.edu.

    • Close Family Issues

      I'm now a 24 yo adult & have dealt w/ 8 divorces between my mother & father since I was only a few months old. My mother is a drug dealer/addict, father is an alcoholic. My mother is a devious serpent, right to the core. She watched as her bfs and husbands beat me & verbally abused me & told me I deserved it. Lately things have escalated and I have cuts ties with her. However, she and my stepfather continue to stalk me and even broke into my home. I'm tired of dealing with them and need help.
