📝 AITAH for telling my mom she "always marries the bad guys."

For context, she’s been in about three marriages and all of them have been abusive. The last one, the third, he was good until he got comfortable. He’s started showing who he is- six years in. I’ve been hurt by every one of her husbands, both physically and emotionally.

This recent one’s screams at me like a kid, calls me a liar and yells at me even when I don’t do anything. He’s hit my little sister with a coat hanger once, though my mom says he’s a human and makes mistakes- and people "learn from their actions."

She says she relies on him for money, that I just have to deal with his emotional abuse until she gets somewhere.

Recently I’m physically ill to the point of vomiting every day, and he tells me that it’s just a state of mind, and I can get over it- "put in the work", like I’m able to give myself surgery or something.

Anyways, when he called me a liar for telling my mom I didn’t break my glasses, (I didn’t, just accidentally bent a part and they somehow fell apart without my help), I told her "you always marry the bad guys",

And she told me that I’m judging her and saying things that I shouldn’t. I personally feel like I’m allowed to express my opinion, yet when I do I feel like she doesn’t take into account my opinion. I love the woman to pieces, but I know I’m allowed to tell her how I feel.

I’m taking to Reddit because I don’t have anyone else to talk to.

AITAH for telling her that? I can’t tell.
