Hi all. Be completely honest with me here.
I (28 y f) have a 4 year old son. I am a single mom who works insane hours in a non typical career, thus I rely on my mom (50 f) to help me with my son quite a bit. Overall, and despite us not always having a great relationship, she does a good job and her and my son adore each other.
My mom has been dating this guy (40ish? M) off and on for years. The recently broke up in November and it was MESSY. He ended up getting a dui, going to jail, and then refusing to return any of her belongings (including her degrees, personal family pictures, and her books). The cops got involved and she spent months telling us how he’s abusive and an alcoholic.
Well this weekend I called her because she had my kid and she informs me that she is not only back with her ex, she and him are at some event with my son. She then lied to me and said my grandparents were also there, so that it was okay. I got so upset, picked up my child, and cut off all contact with her. She and my grandma keep texting me and telling me that I’m over reacting and that my son was never actually in danger. AMITA?
TLDR:
Mom(50f) got back with her “abusive and alcoholic” ex without my knowledge and brought my child to an event with him (also without my knowledge) after I trusted her to babysit.
