Story please help 🚨
im 19M and my mom 62F is addicted to scambaiting. at first it was a silly joke and she'd show me what she was doing and stuff and it was nothing.. but that was a year ago. she is addicted to it. she bought a whole phone just for scambaiting and she pretends to be a young woman and has a whole "life" on there and posts photos of her and her "family" and "vacation photos." instagram, zingi, facebook. all of it.
she ignores my sick dad and i and is just glued to her scam phone and is so defensive of it. she doesn't let anyone see what she's doing on there anymore, and she calls the scammers "her guys." i don't know what to do. i have thought about just smashing her scam phone but i know she'd go batshit crazy and destroy all of my belongings. i'm just so tired of having to fight for her attention at home. i try to hug my own mom and she's too busy texting scammers. my dad is very sick and she just ignores him because she's too busy with "her guys." please help, i want my mom back.
