I cut my mother out of mine and my daughters life last night.. (UPDATE)
My mom has always been a lot to deal with. Ever since her and my dad divorced, she stopped caring about my sister and I. We never had food in the house, she was always with a man, and she did not pay any attention to us. Once she was remarried, she let her husband treat us like crap.
I was constantly called a whore starting at age 12. He treated me differently than he treated my sister. He hated me, and I still don't know why 9 years later.
What started our fight last night was me saying that she needed to get her male lab fixed because she doesn't take care of her animals. She has 6 labs, 5 are female. She bought them solely for breeding purposes and doesn't take care of them or let them inside unless they are pregnant. She has let multiple puppies die because she refuses to take them to the vet. One of her dogs has been so overbred that whenever she has puppies, several of them are born with their intestines on the outside of their body. She doesn't give her dogs time to recover. The conversation started because my sister took a puppy to the vet because my mom was going to let it die. The puppy could not latch and was not eating. My sister was not going to give it back.
All I said was, "I think that you need to get Nick fixed or get rid of some of your animals. There have been people threatening to call animal control on you." That was it, and then she screamed some obscenities at me and proceeded to give me the silent treatment until my husband picked me up after he got off work 2 hours later.
I got a call from my sister last night telling me that our step dad called her, cussed her out, called her a freeloading whore, and our mother was in the background laughing as he talked to her that way.
I just don't want to deal with her childish behavior anymore, and I don't want my daughter to witness her treating us the way that she does and think that its okay.
This is what I said to her this morning, and will be the last thing that I say to her. I've blocked her and her husband on all social media. I've blocked their numbers.
I really never wanted it to come to this, but at this point I feel like it was the right decision. I'm just so tired of fighting with her. I'm tired of her name calling and childish behavior.
I just really hope that this was the right decision.
UPDATE:
I just cannot do this.
