Hi everyone who reads this!

I’ve lived with my dad my whole life, when people ask about my mum there is a lot of mixed reactions to why I cut her off for good!! Please let me know what you think❤️

So me 17F cut my mum off for good around about 3 years ago. I’ve lived with my dad my whole life and my dad is the best. My mum on the other hand left us (me 1 month old at the time, and sister 1.5 years old at the time) the reason I do not know, all she ever said to me is that she wasn’t mature enough to look after me and my sister. My mum and dad went to court and it was decided my mum would pay child support (she never paid a penny) and she would have me and my sister with her every other weekend. All was agreed everyone was happy. She kept up seeing us for about 3 years but I only ever remember seeing her 3 times. But I was still young I was around the age of 5/8 when she was seeing us.

She then just stopped contacting and me and my sister grew up without her. My sister was always annoyed because she just wanted a mum and I was in the same thought process when I was 12 my sister was 13/14 my sister got into contact with our mum. From there she got my sister onto drugs tried to get my sister to sleep with older men for money ect. I didn’t know about this and I got into contact with her she tried getting me on coke weed alcohol and tried getting me to do the same so she could get money of older men. She kicked me out blocked me on everything but I still wanted my mum when I was 14 I got into contact with my mum again I ran away from my home to live with her my dad called the police and reported me missing. Because he didn’t know where I was when I was staying with my mum I told her everything I went through ⚠️TW⚠️ I told her I was SA’d and how I struggled really bad with my anxiety depression and how I was r@p3d and she was being so nice and supportive. I could never of told my dad any of that because it would have killed him.

I was staying with her for about 3 weeks at this point. We got into this massive argument because I was really upset because the boy I was dating at the time broke up with me. She then got into my face screaming at me and got her boyfriend (a murder!!) to shout at me. My mum tried swinging to hit me so I hit back. I went to run downstairs to get my phone to call the police I ran into the bedroom and trying to keep the door shut with my body she and her boyfriend kicked the door down and they had a knife threatening me but they wouldn’t let me out. So instead of fighting or running I decided to apologise they went back upstairs I then got my stuff phone charger everything. I ran out of the house and knocked on a neighbours door and told them what happened they phoned the police and put my phone on charge (I was on 5%) then I was sat in the living room the old lady gave me a cup of tea (this was the nicest old couple I have ever met) we saw my mum and two of her mates walking past she was trying to find me.

Police eventually showed up and got the rest of my stuff and took me home to my dad. Police questioned me about it and I told them what happened my mum was arrested and when she got out she phoned me screaming and cry begging for forgiveness but I decided to cut her of AITAH
