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

Today, after I had changed my number to get away from my abusive ex, my mom decided to give him my new one. She insists that I need to give him another chance. FML

Today, my mom told my abusive ex-boyfriend, whom I broke up with 5 days ago, that he is always welcome at my house. She "misses him". FML

Stand up for yourself

Today, I overheard my mom’s boyfriend viciously berating and verbally abusing her. I got in his face and started yelling that he can’t talk to her that way. He stormed out and we haven’t heard from him since. Now my mom is pissed and wants to kick me out for “ruining” her relationship. Sorry I guess. FML

Today, my boyfriend just told me that his mom told him to break up with me, and that she would pay him to do it. His mom is a bitch. FML

Fatherly love

Today, I finally had it out with my abusive father. I spent almost an hour detailing about how he constantly humiliates me in public, treats me like slime, and hits me at random when he's in a bad mood. His response was, "Quit being such a wimp" because I'm "not female." Mom took his side. I'm 16 and can't move out. FML

Catch 22

Today, I found out I have a restraining order against me from my ex boyfriend. Apparently, I drive by his house too much and it is considered stalking. He forgot that I live 2 houses down, and MUST drive by his house to get home. FML

Today, my girlfriend broke up with me because she's afraid of my ex-wife. This is the third one in a row to use that very reason. The judge still won't accept my pleas for a restraining order. FML

Today, after almost a year of dating and getting dumped out of the blue, I found out my ex-girlfriend wants to get a restraining order against me. I guess dropping a box of her things on her porch after she wouldn't answer her phone is considered stalking. 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

My Mum acted in a similar manner towards me after I split with a violent boyfriend many years ago. I hope you have good friends or other family members that will support you.

Cut ties with your mother. If she wants to verbally abuse you for doing what is best for your safety, she doesn't deserve to have you in her life

Sounds like she's abusive as well. Parents are supposed to want what's BEST for their children. If she TRULY knows how he is and stills says this SHIT...You don't need her in your life either. Because she sounds like she's a couple of cans short of a 6 pack!

Put your mom in her place! That is way off the charts of normal human behaviour...

I am so sorry! My mother was the only one who supported me in leaving my husband. My grandmother asked me for years if I had heard from my abusive ex-husband. It's so hard to get your head in the right place emotionally when you're around such toxic people. Just know that you did the right thing and hang in there!

Maybe it's time to get a restraining order against her.

No matter what anybody say, you made the right decision OP! I'm so proud and happy for you that you love yourself to get out of that situation. It took me 11 years to love myself and get a restraining order against my violent ex. I'm so happy you survived and you shared your experience with FML. You might just save some lives letting people know they too can get out of a sick situation.
