Today, I told my mother that, after years of cheating and abuse, I'm finally getting a divorce. Her reaction was deep concern that my husband might not want to "be friends" with the rest of the family any more. FML

Today, my parents told me, after 30 years of marriage, that they are getting a divorce. I went to my boyfriend's apartment because I needed some comfort. While sobbing to him, he decided to dump me on the spot because my reaction to the news was "immature" and he wants an "adult" relationship. FML
Today, my husband wants a divorce and will be moving out as soon as possible because he can’t stand my mother anymore. He's tired of pushing me to stand up to her, even once, so he's done and is leaving. I’m upset he’s leaving, but I’m equally as upset he’s leaving me alone with my mother. FML

It sounds like your mom cares more about your husband than she does about you. Talk to her. Sorry OP

my mother was so upset with my divorce that she attempted to have cps remove my children on completely faulse accusations( they investigated and closed the case)... and she wont understand why I won't speak to her. Her reason- if I'm willing to allow my mariagr to such a great man end I must be mentally unstable, unable to make ration decisons and care for my kids. He is a good man.. but we were kids when we married and grew apart along with so many more reasons.So OP I completely understand the hurt this can cause I'm so sorry.

God, that's hard. Some parents react like that, it's wrong and hurtful but you can't fix other people's reactions. Do what's good for you.

"Well if you like him so much why don't YOU marry him?!" Hmmm, on second thought... not helping.
