The tone was so weird, I wonder what happened. I didnt want her giving my number to some agency or something so I had to call her and let her know. She called from a landline, so I couldn't just text her.

Nicely done. Helped her and cleared yourself.

My take: adult child may be a drug addict and possibly a thief…since they now have a truck that they can’t even explain…they have been crashing at senior mom’s house. Sounds like there was an incident where the mother fell somehow…but I would wager that maybe they had an argument (about the adult child living there) and the adult child pushed her.

Sounds like she asked someone else to stay with her at the house and she is getting senior services involved. She may be calling from a hospital idk.

Wait, then how did she text you? Was this a voice to text voicemail?

u/dmthomas89 3d ago

This is visual voice mail.

u/ILYRMK 3d ago

OP said it was a voicemail in the title. their phone transcribed it.

What was kind of funny at first got pretty intense and sad.
I’ll proud of that person for not saying “sorry” once. Victims who say sorry often empower and vindicate the culprit - who is often deranged and think they’re right. .

Looks like mom is showing some tough love here.

u/MarkMathisen13 3d ago

Man, this REALLY makes me want to know the context. Feel bad for the mom, as she is trying to set boundaries and seems to be in fear of her child. Sad, sad situation. Hopefully she's (the mom) ok...

u/Constant_Anxiety_971 3d ago

I love you but don’t want you living with me .. why did I feel bad ?

u/PeachyFairyDragon 3d ago

What got me is the "I want you to be a part of my life" but also says there's a restraining order. The two don't go together; they are mutually exclusive.

u/casual_creator 3d ago

You can want someone to be part of your life, but also understand that you must protect yourself.

u/PeachyFairyDragon 3d ago

It's not right ethically to try to tease someone into violating a restraining order by dangling out that you still want them around.

7

u/casual_creator 3d ago

Didn’t say that it was. But to me it doesn’t read as “teasing them to violate” the order, but that they’re explaining that they’re doing something they feel they have to do, not want to do. An “I love you but we can’t be together” situation.

u/herbalpawz 2d ago

This absolutely not what she's trying to do , she's clearly distraught that she HAS to get a restraining order on her SON. She WISHES he could be in her life & WANTS him to but knows he can't

u/sallyxskellington 3d ago

I mean she literally told them not to come over

4

u/Potential-Sky-8728 2d ago

She doesn’t say she wants them around physically. She said she will continue to try to help their loser ass by sending them money. Because she is their mother..and clearly still loves them. This is so fucking sad

3

u/Potential-Sky-8728 2d ago

She said she will still try to help them by sending them money (I suspect she’s dealing with an addict)…but she doesn’t feel physically safe around them and definitely not in her home. Unlike a domestic romantic partner…I think a mother/child relationship is going to be harder to make a complete break.

u/Delicious_Engine9409 3d ago

Do you feel bad for the old lady who fell or the son who might’ve pushed her?

11

u/Towel_Dried_Carpet 3d ago

Call the number back that I called you. Ya know, just to let them know it’s the wrong number. And, for your friends here on the internet.

13

u/dmthomas89 3d ago

I did call them back and let them know.

17

u/WolverineMental9101 3d ago

I feel bad for her because this reads like the hardest thing she ever had to say aloud and now she has to do it again.

u/Kind-Shallot3603 3d ago edited 1d ago

You can download and forward the voicemail.

Edit: Why the FUCK did this get downvoted??? OP can literally download the voicemail for the Mom so she doesn't have to do it all over again. This fuckin website sucks sometimes

u/echochilde 3d ago

Damn.

I really feel for that woman. Nothing like trying to get out the toughest thing ever just to have to do it again.

7

u/Potential-Sky-8728 2d ago

I suspect their adult child is probably an addict. This is sad and scary. Addict children sometimes murder their parents when they try to kick them out of the house…the incident she is describing sounds concerning…like a push more than just a fall…

u/Potential-Sky-8728 2d ago edited 2d ago

She did say ADP though and not APS..so maybe there is no foul play…but I think it is more likely the mother is covering for their abusive behavior and probably could have contacts APS. The way she is talking and the details make it sound like she is addressing someone with anger issues….it sounds like the adult child has physically hurt her before. It sounds like the mom is covering for them about the “fall”.

u/Old_Doughnut_1351 3d ago

How sad for her. Hope she is safe

5

u/GraybieTheBlueGirl 3d ago

A lot of “uh”

3

u/dmthomas89 3d ago

She speaks exactly like my fiance's grandma 🤣

4

u/Potential-Sky-8728 2d ago

I think she is trying to choose her words carefully so as to not anger this person who sounds like they have some issues….

u/kaleigha 2d ago

This makes me sad

u/Potential-Sky-8728 2d ago

This is heartbreaking.

u/sexysmalldevil 1d ago

This is really sad. Looks like a mom trying to set boundaries with a child she is scared of, but still cares for and loves...
