To all the posters on this thread that are solution based - offering assistance, kudos to you!
To all those that want to harp on what a craptastic parent this mom may or may not be, please realize, the IQ there may not be as high as yours - as evidenced by some of the answers and the actions taken etc. Talking a bunch of crap to someone about things that happened in the past - to someone that just might not have the same intelligence as yourself is pretty craptastic in itself.
Mom, if you want to help, go to the website offered by WittyUserName - at least start there.
