Tisha-1 agony auntOkay, I think I managed to read through your question. It is a little hard to understand but I think the guy you are in love with was shot in the head, and is now recovering. He is married, although separated, but his mother doesn't want you to talk to him right now.

First of all, you need to understand that this type of injury can be devastating. I did a little research on this when my brother was in a major accident and was in a coma himself. It takes time to heal from this and while he may be awake and talking and walking, he is still undergoing therapy and is by no means 'cured'.

Second, the stress this type of medical emergency puts on a family is HUGE. I cannot emphasize this enough. It's all a mother can do to get meals on the table and do the other household and daily chores--sometimes, it's all overwhelming. It is so so hard for a family to cope with this type of situation, that everything else gets put on hold.

They are not trying to be mean to you, my guess is that you are a complication they just don't have the mental and emotional resources to deal with. I think you need to recognize that your emotional needs to talk with him, your claim that he is 'your world', are more about you than about him right now. Consider that you might be edging towards selfishness right now, by expecting his mom to put you in touch with him. He is dealing with recovery, he is dealing with getting himself healthy and back together. When he is able to talk to you, he will ask for you. You will simply have to be patient.

Start a journal, write down all your feelings (a plea for the reader: try to include some periods so we know when a sentence begins and ends) and date each entry. When he is well enough, you can show him your journal and all your thoughts and feelings and he will know that you didn't 'let him down.'

So reach down deep inside yourself, find those reserves of patience and courage, and apply those now. When he wants you, he will find you, okay?

Take care.

Maybe the reason his mom doesn't want you to see him has more to do with his state of HEALTH more than anything else. He just came out of a coma, perhaps the doc's told her to keep visitations to a minimum. He needs to reserve all his energy. You can speculate all you want and so can his friends but the truth is you don't know what she is thinking or why she did that.

But if you are a nervous wreck imagine how his MOTHER is right now. She is not thinking straight. Don't add more pressure to that. If anything offer to help WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT. Right now she has requested that he have his privacy so just respect that for now. Things can change. Sit down, pray, go to church, pray for him. If you want to communicate with him, send him or deliver him a card with a message, hopefully a family member will read it to him. Address it as " a friend." Pick him some flowers or anything you would like to share with him and deliver it to his hospital. And pray alot for him.

And I wouldn't think that in this trying time, his mother is too concerned over this or that drama he may have with women. I think his health is all that's on her mind.
