She Kicked Her Mom Out For Bringing Her Emotionally Abusive Ex-Boyfriend Into Her Home And Trying To Get Them To Talk
This young woman is 21 and recently began living on her own for the first time in her life. She was finally able to rent a small apartment a few months ago, and she couldn’t have been more thrilled.
“It was a huge step for me because I grew up with a mother who always tried to control every part of my life,” she said.
Her ex-boyfriend was quite controlling, too. They dated for two years, and throughout their relationship, he kept cheating on her and emotionally manipulating her.
Thankfully, she eventually mustered up the courage to break up with him, and she promised herself that she’d never let her ex back in.
For some strange reason, though, her mom had a different view of her ex and actually thought he was “charming.”
“Even after we broke up, my mom continued talking to him despite me begging her to stop. It was painful, but I couldn’t stop her,” she recalled.
More recently, her mom also needed to lean on her for some support. Her mom apparently lost her job and wasn’t able to afford rent. So, she offered to take in her mom for a couple of weeks.
But, while things started off fine, that all changed just the other day when she walked into her apartment and found her ex-boyfriend sitting at her kitchen table, drinking tea.
Her mom was obviously there, too, and appeared completely unphased. In fact, her mom seemingly set the whole thing up and had the nerve to state, “Oh, I thought you two should talk and work things out.”

“I was shocked. I told my mom this was my home, and he would never be a part of my life again, and she just brushed off what I said. My ex sat there with a smug grin like this was some kind of joke,” she revealed.
This pushed her to snap, and she told her mom to pack up and leave if her boundaries weren’t going to be respected.
Well, her mom began sobbing and saying she had nowhere else to go. Her mom also claimed that she was only trying to “help.”
Regardless, she was livid and went to her own bedroom, leaving her mom to get her things together alone.
Her mom has since gone to stay at a friend’s house, and the rest of her relatives are furious at her. They accused her of “throwing her mother out on the street.”
“But they don’t understand that she completely disregarded my boundaries and brought someone into my home who had emotionally abused me,” she vented.
On the other hand, she does feel awful for kicking her mom out like that. And now, she can’t help but wonder if she did go too far.
Would you also feel violated in this situation? Should she have handled it differently, or did her mom get what she deserved?
