So, my mum got remarried not quite long ago, but I haven’t stayed with her and her husband because I’m schooling. Before they got married last month, I really didn’t know the man that well. At first, I wasn’t in support of it because I didn’t want to get mentally abused again the way my dad and my former stepdad treated me. But because my mum is lonely, and my brother is also schooling (we are just two), I had to keep mute about the whole thing, and they went ahead with the wedding.
The man calls me once in a while just to check up on me, and my mum is always there when he calls. Yesterday night, my mum called with his number, but my SIM was in my second phone, so the number wasn’t saved. She called but didn’t say a word and hung up. I didn’t bother calling back because I didn’t know who it was. Later, she called me with her number, greeted me, and then texted me on WhatsApp, saying I shouldn’t give her a reason to doubt me. She asked why I would call her husband without her knowing and why I didn’t talk when she called with his number.
I felt really bad that it was coming from my mum. Why would she even have such thoughts about me? She’s done some things in the past that hurt me and almost ruined my life. I’m still trying to heal fully from that, and now this again. I really don’t want to have bad feelings toward her because she’s my mum, but she keeps hurting me mentally. I’m 20, and I’ve gone through a lot just because she never cared about me. I don’t want to dislike her because she’s my mum, but I don’t know what to do.
