Today, I finally got a restraining order against my violent ex. My mom now keeps finding ways to tell me how shitty I am for breaking the "poor boy's" heart and how I didn't deserve him anyway. FML

Don't let it get to you. What went on behind closed doors between you & him & your safety is what matters. Your mom sees things from one side & from the sounds of it he obviously made an effort to give others one impression & treat you another way

Maybe you should file one against your mom, too. OP, good for you for getting away and standing your ground. Tell your mom to shove it where the sun don't shine, or you're never seeing her again, either.

To the people down voting #14, it's often people like OP's mother that help abusive ex's perpetuate the abuse. #14 may have put it harshly, but OP needs to protect herself from her mother, too. She may be clueless rather than a bitch, but she's dangerous either way.

Don't listen to her, that's all you can do babe. Not everything that comes put of her mouth is right

She's right. You don't deserve him. You deserve someone better than him.

I seriously would not talk to my mother if she told me that other than the question, do you think abuse is ok?

I don't know if you're living with your mom now, but if you aren't, you need to try to stay away from her. She is only adding to your problems, so you don't need that in your life. Stay strong, OP.

I fully agree OP needs to stay away from her mom for many reasons. One, when you escape an abusive and/or violent relationship, you need a network of supportive people around you who will keep you safe. Your mom is not supportive at all. Two, if your mom really thinks better of asshole ex than you, she may give him tabs on where you are and what you're doing. A restraining order only goes so far. Stay safe, OP. And your mom's right: You deserve better than some violent asshole.

That's a disgusting way for her to behave. Don't listen to a word of it nobody should be with someone who is abusive in anyway and its the best thing in the world you are away from someone who would treat you like that. Hopefully the sick bastard is suffering.

Op, regardless of what your mother says though I can't imagine it doesn't hurt still, you were brave by doing what you did! I think that your idiot ex suffering a "broken heart" isn't nearly as bad as the suffering you've already endured and you could have faced in the future had you not sought help to get out of that situation!! Be proud for making such a brave decision!

She's right... nobody deserves to be in an abusive relationship.
