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 her get into your head, you're a very brave person for getting the police involved. you did the right thing no matter what she says

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

Poor boy? You mean absolute coward? What is wrong with your mother?

I guess the bruises never bothered her anyway

You did the right thing, don't let it bother you. You didn't deserve him, don't let anyone else think for you.

Don't feel bad about it if ur mom doesn't realize then don't let it get to u its not ur fault.

This might be a bit of a rant and I apologize ahead of time and will hold no grudge if thumbed down to get it out of the way. But I'm so tired of hearing these kind of stories (not because of people talking about it which is a good thing but because it happens so often).What is wrong with people who do this to someone who cares about them or that they pretend to care about? You are supposed to want to protect those you care for and do your damnedest to keep them safe. If they hurt, you should want to comfort them and want what's hurting them (emotionally, mentally, or physically) to go away, if they care for you they should feel the same instincts towards you. If there is such a thing as good and evil in the world people who take advantage of a person caring for them in this way have to be the clearest evil and are not deserving of the space they take up on the planet.

Sounds like you and your mom have a "restrained" relationship

that's cray, next time he comes,just leave your mom to get talk to him ^_^

Not a good idea, the ex can make up all kinds of bs and make himself look like he is the victim in this. Potentially turning OP's mother against her, which she partially is anyway from this FML.

No you didn't deserve him. You deserve much better. Sorry OP your mum is a dick
