Should I live with my mum or stay with my dad?

0

Finding out about my parents divorce shocked me, but after a month I was okay with it, but my mum has gone insane trying to put my father in prison! She’s called the police at least three times because she thought he was doing stuff to her things. He never touched them because he’s never in the house, and just two weeks ago she called the cops again because my siblings and I had to show up to court, we couldn’t miss it. She called them and said my dad had kidnapped us, when he still had custody. I have reason to believe my mother is mentally ill, she refuses to get a job, and since we lost the house, she has no where to live. She is now using my dad for money, but still treats him like crap! I don’t know what to do, should I live with my mum or kick her out of my life?

Well, you obviously know your situation better than anyone on here. I would suggest you focus on your relationship with your father right now. It's normal for your mother to be acting the way she is, she's probably in a state of shock and may even be on the edge of a mental breakdown. For now, you should try your best to avoid her negativity, once she calms down you should try and keep healthy contact with her, but since she's acting so immaturely and not thinking of your mental state, it would be best for your health if you were to stay with your dad for now, as long as you two have a good relationship.
If you need someone to talk to, let me know. (:
