I’ll try to make this as short as possible. I come from a family that, for the most part, has been abusive (physically, verbally, and emotionally. Its caused pretty much all the problems/disorders I have). Ever since I was 15 I’ve been taking care of my mother because she is disabled and has trouble walking and doing things on her own. I’ve done almost everything while she sat around. She’s always complains and whines and yells when she doesnt get her way or when I do something my way instead of hers. She has called me rude, selfish, and ungrateful for most of my life. A few days ago my boyfriend stuck up for me and told her she needs to stop treating me like a child and stop being so hateful. She got incredibly mad and told me I have to move out. I’m ok with this and will be leaving within a week at most. She even got my siblings (who have never come by to check on her or help her since I was 15) involved and made up parts of the story to make it sound like I was a terrible child and now they are yelling at me. My only concern is when I leave should I completely cut all contact with them? My boyfriend says I should and I kind of want to as well but Im not sure. I mean, I much prefer his family. They treat me far better than my own ever has.
