Today, after I had changed my number to get away from my abusive ex, my mom decided to give him my new one. She insists that I need to give him another chance. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my mom told my abusive ex-boyfriend, whom I broke up with 5 days ago, that he is always welcome at my house. She "misses him". FML
Today, I finally got a restraining order against my violent ex. My mom now keeps finding ways to tell me how shitty I am for breaking the "poor boy's" heart and how I didn't deserve him anyway. FML
Today, I had to change my mobile number because I was getting abuse from a guy, so I sent my new number to all of the people on my contact list. Including him. FML
Today, my mom ambushed me with my cheating ex-fiancé, thinking being in the same room would miraculously change the past and we’d get back together. When I tried to walk out, my mom screamed like a banshee and latched onto my leg. After this I’m putting her in a retirement home and never visiting. FML
Today, my mom came to me, hysterically crying that her boyfriend had hit and choked her. I’d feel bad for her except he’s my ex who also beat me, yet when I turned to my mother for help she decided to take him in instead and get pregnant with his kid. What goes around comes around bitch! FML
Today, my mom still spends time with my ex because, as she puts it, we might be divorced now but there’s no reason they can’t still be friends. This is the woman who tricked me into raising another man’s baby for three months before I got suspicious and got a paternity test. Screw you mom. FML
Today, my mother shared my phone number with my brother, despite my explicit wishes that she didn't. He immediately went and put it on Craigslist and several other websites. This is the fourth time I've had to change my number for that very same reason. FML
Today, my mom called me to tell me she'd got in touch with my ex for his birthday, and that the two of them had made a plan for us to get back together. My new boyfriend was in the process of proposing to me. FML
Today, my abusive ex-stepfather managed to file a protection order on my sweet mum. Now, both of my younger siblings can no longer see or talk to her, and the police came to our door and took them. If they truly thought she was dangerous, wouldn't they take me too? He even has a real criminal record of abuse, and my mom is clean. FML
Today, after 4 days of avoiding me and screening his calls, my 24-year-old boyfriend sent his mother to break up with me on his behalf. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Tell your mom, after you change your number again and don't give it to her, she can date him.

Does she understand what happened? Must not if she would do that.

You'd be surprised. I don't know how many times I've heard of an abuse victim's parents siding with the abuser, either because they think their OWN CHILD is lying, or because they think their child is overrating or being too harsh. A friend of a friend of mine hasn't spoken to her mother in almost 5 years because she left her abusive husband and the mother thought she was being "immature" for "walking out" on on him. Sometimes we see her mother and her ex-husband having coffee together. It's sad. :(

There is a quote I love that says "God gave us friends to apologize for our families." Seems fitting here.

Restraining order maybe?
linyah 11
thats what i was thinking. A restraining order could be placed in effect so he cannot be near you and have any contact with you. If he does then jail time for his ass. Now as for your mom, she is an idiot for what she did, and i'd sit her down and tell her that your ex doesn't deserve any second chance for the hell he put you through, and for what she did now has caused you to lack trust in her..or something along those lines..if all else fails..just change the number again like everyone says and don't even let your own mother know it until she understands..

Get another new number and don't tell your mom what it is. That's ****** up! Stand your ground op!

There is a special place in hell for men who abuse women. It's right between the animal abusers and the men who think they look good in spandex shorts.

Abuse and another chance?Are you kidding me? Those two words should never be used in the same sentence.And why does you're mom want you to stay with him? I hope your mom realizes that what she did was wrong! What happens if you get killed by him? I wonder if you lost hope in your mom.

You just used "abused" and "another chance" in the same sentence... I applaud your bravery.

blame my public school education but I believe "abuse" is a word and "another chance" is a phrase.

Sometimes moms don't know what's really going on. I'm sure explaining how bad things got would convince her to respect your decision in not giving this guy another chance.
