Okay so for some background information my mother has a real bad habit of not communicating with me and breaking promises she makes. I have asked and asked and reached out and begged her for her to communicate with me and yet I am still not getting it. I stay the night with my girlfriend once a week because that is the only time I can see her because she is at work a lot. Well my mom was okay with this for a bit. Until I started hanging around my girlfriends family more and talking to them about some things my mother does that I thought was normal for everyone. (It apparently is not.) One time when my mother called me, (this happened yesterday) she had yet again not communicated, so when I thought I hung up she had heard me start to vent, well she had blown up on me because she had heard me vent. She spent about 15-20 minutes just screaming at me over the phone about how I always have a "attitude" when I come back from my girlfriends house, and how and I quote her exact words: "you treat me like shit, you treat your sister like shit" yes I understand I'm not perfect and yes I may get overwhelmed but I try to keep to myself. She told me that if I tried to run away or move out early she would drag me 3 hours away from everything and everyone I love in order to "save" me from "becoming like my uncle" and "screwing up my life." She has now prohibited me from staying at my girlfriends house and she can only come to mine. I also have lost all trust for her because she has tried to move in her new boyfriend three times even after promising us she wouldn't do that because of what happened to me and my sister with my biological father. She didn't even try to put my sister in therapy after she got SAd and raped (yes I already got consent from her to state this). My mother ignores my sister on a daily basis and just trys to call her boyfriend 24/7 she is not wanting to actively participate in being a mom to my sister even though she is only 13 years old and needs that help. I am okay with me being ignored but I am not Okay with my sister being ignored. I can leave my sister cannot. The only reason I'm hesitant is because I can't leave my sister. My mother has already put her and me in too many dangerous situations. For example, my mom marrying an abusive piece of shit for 8 years thinking she can fix him, then a month later getting with my pedophile of a biological father and staying with him for 7 years, and then 3 months after leaving him she gets a new boyfriend. The ONLY reason why me and my sister are in therapy is because of victim services.
