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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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?

Whos side is she on? Might want to question her real reason for her stepping in where she shouldnt

Do these two things: 1)Get a restraining order against both of them. 2)Give your mom the number of the local police station in case she or that ex needs to "give it another try".

I like your police station idea

That's not her decision. Change it again and don't give in when she asks for it(might want to tell your friends not to give it to her either)and get a restraining order on the ex.

YDI for not knowing your own mother enough to know you shouldn't give her your new number.

That makes no sense. Obviously you would want to give your mother your number. I would want my mom to have my number in case of an emergency. Or just because. OP didn't had no idea this would be the outcome.

Wow I basically failed that last sentence. But you get the point.

Seriously? Short of having a mom with a history of alcohol or drug abuse or an abusive history, I can't see why OP wouldn't trust her mother, especially if she told her mom why she changed her number. I assume that until now, OP had no reason not to trust her.

Even if OP's mother was the most awful, drug addicted woman on the planet, it's still possible that she loves her mother dearly and wants to talk to her. You can't chose your family.

I think it's time to consider not even telling your mom about your new number.

Maybe your mom shouldn't have your number? She seems to be doing as much harm as he did.

Why does'nt your mom understand that HE WAS ABUSIVE TO YOU. Mothers should take their child's side instead of the other side. I just smh at some parents
