Sidenote: WHO THE FUCK IS HE TO TELL MY SISTER THAT SHE NEEDS TO STOP GOING TO MY MOTHER'S HOUSE. HELLO? THAT'S HER DAUGHTER. AND HE DIDN'T SAY IT IN FRONT OF MY MOTHER!
My sister then tells him, "Its her problem if she worries about me. I worry about her to, you know."
A few days after that conversation, my sister sprains her ankle. My mom has a fucking pharmacy in her house. You name the prescription drug, she has it. She can be a drug dealer, and she'd be rich just by selling the damn prescriptions that she has.
So anyways, my sister wanted my mom to have a look at her ankle. My mom says sure, and my sister says she'll call her when she's on her way. My sister calls my mom when she's on her way, and my brother picks up the phone, and tells her, "Don't come over here because [The Asshole] is going to kill you."
Shelley: What? Wtf is going on? Put Mom on the phone, please.
Fello: (again, pronounced: fay-yo) She doesn't want to talk to you.
So my mother left my sister high and dry, AGAIN. (I can assure you that wasn't the first time my mother has done something like that to my sister. In the past like 10 years that she has been with that mother fucker, she has stopped talking to my sister about 5 times due to that asshole. she has stopped talking to ALL OF MY FAMILY (on her side) because of him. we were a pretty close family, untill he came along.)
He has threatened to kill each and everyone of us, including my aunt.
In the summer of '05, I went to my friend's house to braid his hair. I was with my brother, and a little girl I used to babysit. I got home at around 9:30 pm, and I had called my mom VERY OFTEN throughout the day. My mom was fine with me being where I was, and the time I got home. When I got home, my mother and her husband were arguing, and my mother saying, "Your not going to touch her", and he was saying, "I'm not going to hit her." She was in front of her door, holding it closed, and I could hear them, and the way he was trying to move her, so he could come at me.
She opens the door, and he comes to my room, and says, "Come here, cuz I want to talk to you." He was pointing at me, and he motioned for me to go closer, but I only take like 3 baby steps, and he comes the rest of the way forward, and slaps the shit out of me across the face. (NO ONE, NOT EVEN MY MOTHER, NOR MY FATHER HAS EVER SLAPPED MY FACE BEFORE. NOT EVEN WHEN I GOT INTO A FIGHT 2 YEARS LATER. THE GIRL I FOUGHT ATTEMPTED TO SLAP ME, BUT INSTEAD ALL SHE DID WAS SCRATCH ME. THATS IT.) He hit me so hard, that half of my face was as red as a tomato, (I'm not exaggerating either. I wish I would have taken pictures of it.) and he left me a bruise on my left cheek-bone. He was going to keep hitting me, but my mom pushed him back, and I put my legs in the air (i had fallen into my hamper, then i fell on my bed from the blow), so when he would charge at me again, I was going to kick at him. He said I disrespected my mother. I don't know how the fuck I disrespected her, but he claims I did, because I came home at a late hour. When it was 9:30 pm, and I had called her several times, even when I was leaving my friends house to go home.
The next day, my mom was cleaning, and I was listening to music, and I was babysitting again, and my mom asked me to lower the radio. I did. She thought it was still too loud, so she asked me to lower it again, and The Asshole steps in and tells me these exact words, "If your mother has to tell you to lower it again, I'm going to beat you. And I'm not gonna stop. I'm gonna beat you untill you dead."
My mother didn't even say anything. She didn't stick up for me, or tell him to back off- nothing. Nice, huh?
Yesterday, I was talking to my aunt, and she told me a few things about my mother. An actual fact: if my great-aunt dies, it's my mother's fault. Here's why:
In the winter of 2005, my aunt came from Florida to live with us. She went to the woman's shelter, and since they were taking so long to give her an apartment, and my mother didn't like the speed of the shelter, she lied to my aunt, so my aunt, Chili, would go back to Florida to get her daughter. My great- aunt was taking care of my cousin untill Chili was back on her feet. My mother told Chili that my baby cousin was in danger. My great-aunt had started drinking again, and she would drive drunk with my baby cousin in the car. Obviously, Chili wanted to go get her. So, they used the money left over from when I worked (see last post), to buy her ticket. Now, I don't mind Chili using my money to get my baby cousin, after all, my baby cousin was the reason I wanted to have a kid at such a young age. But my mom told me that I spent all of my money. She also told me that it was TA who bought her ticket. At least tell me the fucking truth for once in your fucking life-well, my fucking life!
So, Chili went to Florida, and barged in my great-aunt's house, demanding her daughter, and explaining why. Everyone was telling her that it was lie, that my GA (GA means Great-Aunt) wasn't drinking again. So Chili said to call my mom. IDK why no one did. I don't think my mom would have picked up the phone, anyways. And my mom wasn't even talking to ANYONE OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS in Florida at the time, either. My GA had stopped drinking, because she was caring for my baby cousin. But when Chili took her daughter back, my GA started drinking again. She already had sclerosis of the liver from her excessive drinking. But it got so bad, that in 2009, she was admitted to the hospital, due to liver failure. My GA is dieing, from a LIE that my mother told Chili, just so Chili could go to a different shelter. In NY, if you have a kid, they give you an apartment faster, if you went through the shelter system. Just because they weren't giving Chili an apartment as fast as my mom would have liked, my mom lied to Chili, and has caused for my GA to be dieing.
Another occasion: Chili was in the shelter in Manhattan, and she got a job at Starbucks. I would go with her to the job, so I could watch my baby cousin. My baby cousin LOVED to be with me, and I LOVED to be with her. I used to take care of her when she was only a few months old, and Chili would work.
While Chili was working at Starbucks, my mom told her that she was going to take away all of Chili's checks, and give her a budget. Chili had to tell my mom what it was she was going to buy, and my mom would give her the money. Because Chili said "NO", (which I am very proud of her for doing that) my mom stopped talking to my aunt. Because my aunt stood up to the bitch, she stopped talking to her. If something doesn't go the way that my mother, and her husband want, they kick you out of their lives, stab you in the back, and act like you never existed. Mainly when it comes to money of course. Instead of asking, "How can I help this person?" They ask, "How can these assholes benefit me? How can I get money out of these bitches?" They don't care how they hurt a person, just as long as they get money, or some sort of benefit in the end. Even with her own FLESH AND BLOOD.
I know one of the Ten Commandments are :“Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you."
That doesn't doesn't relate here does it? My mother ABANDONED my sister, my aunt, and myself. She has abandoned our whole family EXCEPT for my brother. And I can guarantee, that once my brother has his own apartment (I hope its soon), she's going to kick him to the curb, and abandon him too. She's a bitch like that. She's a poor excuse of a mother. I was telling my sister and my aunt how I want to send her an email of how I feel about her. My sister said I should do it on Mother's Day, and make it clear that I'm not saying "HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!" No. It would be the EXACT opposite. And my aunt said that I should do it. I would tell her how she should be ashamed of herself. How my grandmother (R.I.P. she died when I was 6) would NOT be proud of her. How she and the mother fucker she's married to are PERFECT for e.o. And how she's a HORRIBLE mother. She's a POOR EXCUSE OF A MOTHER, A WOMAN, AND A PERSON. THEY ARE A DISGRACE TO THE HUMAN RACE, those 2. And for anyone who would abandon their child for a woman, or a man, or would kill their baby because the father said so, and that he wouldn't be with you, I swear you are stupid. To have a baby is the best thing in the world. And if you don't want to cherish that feeling, DON'T HAVE KIDS JUST TO ABANDON THEM! GET YOUR FUCKING TUBES TIED, OR YOUR DICK CUT OFF BEFORE IT HAPPENS! (not literally, I mean to get a vasectomy). Then, you won't have little bastards running around, (said kindly, i promise.) wondering where their mother or father is. I don't have a mother. And I grew up without a father because of my mother. Trust me, it's not a good feeling. Well, the part about me growing up without a father. Not having a mother is ok, because she's a FUCKING BITCH!
So yeah, you know my little sordid story.
Do you think I'm being too harsh? Do you think I should forgive her?
There's not a chance in hell that I'm going to forgive her, but I want to know what you have to say! Come on! Don't be shy.
Be safe, and have fun this weekend peops!
Next post: What's been going on with my Dad, and how little by little, he's abandoning me, too.
P.S. Do you think I should send her the email? If so, when? If not, how come?

Ok.. 1st let me just say WOW!!!! That's some really harsh shit you had to deal with. I'm glad you were able to get away from that situation for you, your hubby and your baby.
So on to the letter for your mom. I think you do need some closure. You will never get over it (as much as you can anyway) if you don't get to say your piece. I would definately address the issues you have with her. How she chose him over her children, though he was abusive to ya'll. I would also make it very clear that the letter is not intended to form any reconciliation, but just to get it off your chest like she did. I would stress again to her that you do not want to start up any contact again while he's (TA) is still around. I would steer clear of addressing anything you've heard from others about the things she's done. I would stick to what she's done to you, and what she's allowed TA to do to you only. And well.. honestly.. be blunt and rude if you want. Who cares? She has hurt you far worse than your words will hurt her at this time.
I would address her threats (lie like she does.. say you recorded the convo when she called you back about what Canito said on her voicemail, how she and TA threatened to kill you). Because that right there, while it is considered an unlawful recording, will still get them in trouble if you wanted to push it with the cops. (if you really did record it, but she doesn't have to know you didn't) You can tell them that what they said is considered harassing communications, and a death threat which could cost them BOTH jail time. That's if you wanted to go that route, but if you did, than you are pretty much doing the same as her. I would definately also tell her how disappointed in her you are. How hurt you are that she chose and still chooses a man who abuses her and her children over her own kids.
I would say something like......
Continued on next comment cus it was too long to do it all in 1.......
I would say something like.. 'you kept saying 'WE' wanted the best for you.. but seriously.. how is living with an abusive step-father best for me? How is it best for me to stay in a situation where my mother obviously doesn't love me enough to protect me from the man that hurts me? How do you think that makes me feel mom? Well.. I'll tell you. It makes me feel like you don't and never have given a shit about me. How I felt and how I was being treated. Yes, you may have stopped him a few times, but what about the rest of the times? THOSE are the things that show me that he is definately more important to you. That I am just his personal punching bag when he's tired of hitting you and you obviously were O.K. with him doing it because you never left him. You never took me and my brother out of that situation. Your love for us is non-existant. We are nothing to you, and you can't say differently because your actions speak louder than words. And THAT is why I no longer want anything to do with you. I refuse to let myself be a victim of your drama and hate. You may not have protected me when I lived there, but I can and will protect myself as well as my baby. I will never let her suffer the way you have made me."
Instead of going the 'I fucking hate you bitch' route, I'd (attempt) to pull on her heart strings. Telling her how hurt you are, how sad you were, how unloved you felt. How she showed by her actions that you meant nothing to her and how your father is the complete opposite. You know that he would NEVER let anything like that happen to you. That you know his love is real love. Then thank her. Thank her for her lack of love, because if it weren't for that, you wouldnt be where you are today. You wouldn't be living in PR close to your father who you talk to everyday and you wouldn't have a baby who you'd give your life for (unlike her) and that you have a man who loves you too much to hurt you (unlike hers).
Cus really, just going off on her is only going to piss her off. Saying things like "it's obvious you don't love me, never have" will hurt her far worse because its coming from the heart, from hurt.. not out of anger as cussing at her will. Anyway.. that's just my thoughts :) (my very long wordy thoughts by the way.. sorry about how long this is...) Let us know what you eventually decide.
I don't think you should send her a mean letter on Mother's day, that seems really low. I definitely think that she has done some really hurtful, un-excusable things, but you need to rise above it. There is nothing that she can do that will ever take back The Asshole's abuse, and there is no excuse for her neglect to stand up for you. That is just wrong, and it will always be wrong. The best thing for you, is to keep your baby and yourself out of a toxic environment, like you said. I say, just be done with her. Don't contact her. Don't get caught up in her lies and bullshit. But don't add to the negativity either by sending her any emails. She will just find a reason to make herself the victim again. Also, you said that the reason your GA is dying is because of your mother. I just wanted to point out, that in order for her to even get Cirrhosis, she had to be drinking waaay too much to begin with (even before she was taking care of the baby). So in actuality, the only one to blame for her liver is herself because she is the one who chooses to drink. I'm not saying what your mom did wasn't wrong, because it was wrong. I just wanted to clarify. Best of luck!
-A
To J~ I think I could use some closure. I'm still thinking about it. And don't worry about the comment being too long, lol.
To A- I'm not gonna do it on mother's day, cuz that is just mean. And your right, I shouldn't stoop to her level. And your also right about her playing the victim. Its her specialty. After she caters to her husband, of course, lol. My aunt did start drinking WAAAYYYY before she started takin care of my cousin, and then started again after all that drama happened. I just blabber a lot, lol. I guess its cuz I have so much anger towards them. But thank you both for the advice!
