22 and scared to stand up to my mom.

My mother has complete control over me. I am moving to another state with my 2 year old in a month and that is probably when I'll grow balls to say something to her.

I'll give you guys a little back story..

my mom has always been in control of everyone. Her husband, and her kids (me and my two brothers) even her step son who is 15. She has always yelled if someone didn't agree with her, did what she said.. she has stepped all over me my entire life because she knew I couldn't stand up to her. She would rather us be afraid of her than us feel comfortable telling her if/when she hurts our feelings.

My mom when I got bullied in high school told me to get over it.

Now she is saying that about my 15 year old step brother.

Horrifying, right? Not only that, but she constantly belittles his mother. Yes, his mother is a POS but why talk trash about her when you know he can hear you..

my mom has hit me, and then called people and told people I hit her, etc.. she is mentally, emotionally, and sometimes physically abusive. Sometimes I forget I am 22 and that this is MY life and she CANNOT tell me what to do, how to raise my son, etc..

Once I move.. I plan on separating myself and my son from her. She is so toxic without even realizing it and it's scary.

I guess idk why I posted this but maybe some advice would be helpful ?
