My mom slapped me….

I was over visiting my mom this weekend with my 5 month old son. My mom knows she and I do not agree politically. She’s a HUGE Trump supporter and I absolutely hate him. She always tries to bring up politics with me and I usually just ignore it. Tonight however she said something like “Trump and Vance’s wives are elegant, don’t you think?”. I was honest and said “no mom, I think they are all trash, you know I don’t like them”. She lost her shit on me. Started yelling at me about how “uneducated” I am on all of it. I ignored her for the most part except I said Trump is friends with Na*i. She got even more mad and said “he was throwing his heart out to people”. I told her she can believe that if she wants and walked into the kitchen, she followed me and kept yelling. I told her I wasn’t talking politics, I hate it and we don’t agree. She ended up slapping me across the face. I tried to call my husband to come pick me up and take me home. She ripped my phone out of my hand and said I wasn’t going anywhere, I was going to shut up and listen to what she had to say. I managed to get my phone back from her and called my husband to come get me. It was about a 45 minute drive to me though. I packed my stuff and my mom tried to keep my son from me. I told her I’d call the cops on her if she didn’t give me my child. She said she’d call CPS on me if I left outside with my son to wait for my husband. I told her she was being toxic and that she wasn’t going to see me or my son for a while. She just kept going crazy on me.

My heart is shattered. I love my mom so much and she’s helped me a ton with having my son. We would babysit him at night so I could work Friday night to Tuesday morning. I had to quit my job though because my car broke down and I couldn’t make it to work. I was so grateful to her, but she would bitch all the time about how she had not time to herself because of watching the baby. But then when I quit she bitched about not getting to watch him anymore. I can just never win for losing with her. But I love her and am so sad that stupid politics that I tried to avoid caused all this bullshit. I’m also scared my mom may hurt or kill herself.
