I 24f live/stay with my mom 42f she took custody of my 10 month old daughter. She felt like I was danger to my own child. A little back story here. When I was younger let's just say 12 years old, my grandfather passed away. I have lived with him since I was 1 or 2 years old I was extremely close with him. Well when he passed away I got depressed and I started self harming at 12 years old. Around that time my mom gave birth to my little sister 12f and when my sister was born I felt like I was pushed off to the back burner. I felt horrible. I started hating my sister but after a while it wasn't her fault it was all my mothers. I have tried everything to get my moms attention and nothing worked unless I was getting in trouble. So I started stealing, running away just doing about everything to get in trouble so I can get some of her attention. Fast forward to when i m 16. My mom started getting aggressive towards my little sister so I stepped in an I started getting abused by my mom for protecting my sister. One day my mom threw me against the wall bashed my head into the floor, the wall, metal chairs and table, I had enough of the abuse so I ran away. I didn't have any contact with her until 2 years later when my sister called me in a panic and in tears. So I ran I bussed I took a train all the way back to her just to find out my mom had that all planned so I can go back. I couldn't believe that she did that. I couldn't believe she would use my sister to get me back. When I tried leaving she blocked my way of the door and told me I wasn't allowed to leave without talking and listening to her. So I stayed and listened to her bs. I left after 3 hours. And yes I did try to charge her for abuse and sadly they didn't do anything even though I had video and pictures and audio proof of what she did. At this point I'm like 18 19 years old. I was living with my bf at the time. I couldn't handle his abuse either so I left. And after a year or 2 I got with my current bf 26m (of 5 almost 6 years together) my mom hated him and hated the fact that we got together. My bf is native. We had a daughter together and we couldn't go back to our place because it was getting renovated. So the hospital called my mom and she said that we are staying with her until our apartment is all finished. Well a month or so went by after giving birth and I was lifting my daughter and I put her in front of me so I can change her and my mom barges in the room and says that I body slammed my daughter and she called C.A.S. on us without allowing us to say anything. After all of that we couldn't leave because now my mom has kinship over our daughter. No matter what we tried. The case is being closed very soon which is amazing. And my mom says she did this cuz she wants what's best for us. And everyone is telling me to forgive her for it. Am I the a**hole? Am I wrong for being mad at her? Am I wrong for wanting to cut all contact with her when we finally go back to our own place with our kid?
