Long story;

My mother has been mentally and emotionally abusive towards me my whole life. She micromanaged me and every decision I've made for the longest time until I moved away. I had major depression and suicidal thoughts while living with her because everyday she would call me names and tell me I'm a piece of shit and worthless. Now I'm in a better place. My husband and I met in an online gaming community. We were friends for 2 years before we started dating and he used to hear firsthand how bad this abuse really was. When we started dating, he wanted to get me out of that house ASAP. So we both saved money up, and he drove from Mississippi to California and back just to pick me up to get me out of there. We got married October 31, 2017 at the couthouse and the witness was a man fighting a parking ticket. 😂 His case was right after our wedding. None of our family was present and we surprised them.

My mother still tries to micromanage and abuse me from 2,000+ miles away from me and when I told her to stop, she got mad at me. I told her I have my own family now and she needs to quit trying to control me otherwise I would block her again and she said

My family may be small with just my husband, cats, and I atm, but don't you ever dare say I'm not loved by them. Don't you ever dare tell me that I need to "go to people who you think loves you". I don't need to think my family loves me. I know they do. A lot of people are going to say my cats don't count as "family" because they aren't humans. They're still my children and they still love me. When I leave the house and come home, they greet me.

I wound up blocking her on social media and her phone number and had a lengthy conversation with my dad as to why I refuse to talk to her now. He's known about the abuse for a while and he got really upset with her daily if he ever heard her calling me a useless piece of shit or anything and he'd yell at her for it. My dad said he loves me and supports my decision on blocking her because that was totally unnecessary of her to say.

I guess I just had to get this off of my chest...
