my mom does know the truth. the person in my post claiming I wasn't a good daughter was a friend of 7 years and she said that because I refused to let her back into my life while she was still drunk and hi. I know I was doing what was right by standing up for myself and my son. and standing up for myself was the right thing to do against my family. I lost alot of step brothers and step sisters but I gained something more important - ME and my freedom. No matter what guilt complexes my ex friend pulled I have no regrets for doing what I did to keep myself and my son safe.
