Friend’s mum has turned into a b****?

So my friend (family friend, basically a sister) turned 18 in December 2017, her mum kicked her out and stopped paying for her bills.

My friends makes $1000 a fortnight so she was fine with paying for her phone bill and she moved into her grandmother’s house.

But now her mum has turned into a bitch. At first I could understand why she kicked my friend out, my friend doesn’t have the greatest friends and her mum doesn’t want people like that in and around the house.

But now her mum gets MAD at my mum when my mum occasionally helps out my friend. (Let’s call my friend F and her mum M). M took out THOUSANDS from F’s bank account a day before her 18th so she won’t have access to any of her money.

Just the other day my mum gave F $70 which was a present from one of our family friends, not M is mad at my mum.

M has put my mum through a truck load of shit to do with F. My mum has been crying at least twice a week about it (it’s so, so rare for my mum to cry). My mum wants to be there for F, but can’t be because it’s overstepping on M’s standards. F can’t even come over to visit without M getting suspicious and angry at both F and my mum.

And now M is angry at my mum because when my mum was crying once, she vented to me how upset she was about everything.

M is making up stories to F saying that my mum told her to yell at her, which is a completely lie. My mum lost my older sister to my sister’s dad because my mum was strict and her dad was lenient. The LAST thing she’d ever do is encourage more tension between M and F.

I love M, she’s like a second mother to me, but this is beyond ridiculous, it’s hurting my mum so much. And my parents have done SO SO MUCH for M and her family the past couple of years.

I’m becoming resentful of M because of how my mum is being treated in this situation. F’s dad has no problem with F or my mum, he even comes over sometimes just for a coffee and chat. So the problem seems to be just with M.

And M has been feeding lies to F’s grandmother with the intention to make sure the grandmother doesn’t offer support to F.

F has tried mending things by staying back at home with her father and M, but M starts unnecessary fights to the point that F has to be out of the house.

Once F was staying with her parents, at 2am she was FaceTiming her friend, M came into the room yelling and carrying on and physically threatening F, F turned around to M and said ‘I’ve got my friend on FaceTime and she’s literally watching everything, get out of the room’ and M turned around and said ‘good, I want your friend to watch.’

We have all been family friends for around 15 years, since F and myself were 4-years-old. So it’s hard to just cut M out of our lives. But she’s making near impossible for anyone to be a part of it. M is moving 5 hours away next year, and I honestly think it’s the best things for everyone. I never thought I’d ever say that about her, but she really has hurt so many people in such a short space of time.
