mom called police

1 week ago · 1 · Family, +3

Right after my parents got divorced my mom got very mad at me. She blamed me bcuz I said I wanted to live with my dad and she thought that was why she didn't get the house or custody. So on one of the last days she was still living with us I went downstairs and found her talking on her phone to her sister (my aunt) and her sister is shouting like, "how dare she how dare she do that to you how f!cking dare she!" (the she is me lol) and what not. And my mom is like "she's here rn" and I hear my aunt say, "tell her to f!ck off" and so my mom goes "f!ck off". I'm standing there pretty angry at that point and I go, "it's not my fault you lost stop blaming me." Then my mom gets off the phone with her sister and says "get away from me or im calling the police." and im like? I haven't done anything no. So then my mom calls the police and when the person picks up she starts basically screaming "stop pushing me! stop it! get off me! help my daughter won't leave me alone!" and I'm standing at least four feet away from her not touching her at all. So I say loud enough for the operator to hear "I'm not touching you." After like a two minutes of this the operator gets tired and hangs up.

I would say I'm surprised but my mother has called the police to our house at least 21 times (Thats when I stopped counting). Sometimes she has good reason, sometimes not. You would think she'd think twice bcuz we're black and you'd think she'd realize that making calls like that can get someone killed. But I guess not.

I'm just writing this down because sometimes I forget things that my mother does and then I feel unjustified when I'm struggling with our relationship. I just want to make sure I don't forget some of the details.

    Your mother is using the police to do her parenting for her. She can't handle you on her own so she has the police be there as an extra parent. She isn't the only one. There are other mothers who do this too.

    My mom and I just had an argument. We both have big personalities and big emotions and sometimes it's hard for us to understand each other. This may seem "...
