Called my mom pathetic for staying with her boyfriend

My moms boyfriend did some fucked up shit. He has 2 months of jail release and a year of probation. I’m too scared to say what he did specifically because the last time I tried talking about it on here people accused me of lying.

But it happened and my aunt made a giant Facebook post about it. My mom and aunt haven’t been talking for a year because my mom basically chose to be with him despite knowing my family hated him

The Facebook post went sort of viral in our community. There are also news articles about it. People have been sending him death threats. Everyone knows what he did. People know my mom stayed with him. A lot of people we know are messaging her and calling her a bad mom because she stayed with him knowing me and my brothers who are babies also live with him

My mom and I had a big fight about it. She thinks my aunt was exaggerating. She was not. I got upset and told her that we have every right to be upset. What he did was wrong and disgusting. She said that if I thought that way I could leave and go live with my aunt.

That hurt a lot. But wasn’t all that shocked as she dismisses my feelings a lot whether she’ll admit it or not.

I started packing and she backpedaled and told me she didn’t mean it. We were both crying. Like, full on sobbing and she begged me not to go. I told her I found it pathetic and beneath her that she chose to stay with him. That there were no redeeming or good qualities about him. He was a bad partner and father.

I told her some other things and insulted her and I feel like crap about it. Her boyfriend acted like he didn’t understand what was happening. I’m at my aunts and I miss my mom a lot. I don’t plan to go back until Saturday evening cause that’s when her boyfriend goes to work.

I’m so angry at her but so sad for her because she deserves better. I keep thinking about how shitty life turned out to be when she met her boyfriend and I wish so badly that she had never met him.
