Okay so I am a female 17 will be turning 18 before Christmas. My mum and dad have been separated my whole life my mums always been kinda manipulative and makes me feel bad whenever I do something that won’t benefit her in some way my dad on the other hand has always told me to do what I think is best for me and no one else. I’ve spent the past couple years at my grandparents house for Christmas so I don’t have to go to my mums for Christmas but this year I’m going with my dad to his side of the family who I’m closer too and my mum thinks I’m going to her house with her new family who I haven’t met before. For some background I have 2 older sisters and 3 younger brother 2 of them have passed away though my little brother lives with his dad and my older sisters live with their partners i live with my dad. I’ve never been the favourite but I’ve always been the back up like when my sister and mum are fighting mum comes to me, I hate this but what I hate even more is that I’m too scared to tell her not to do it. My mum knows I’m going with dad for Christmas but she’s pretending she doesn’t so she can make me feel bad for not spending Christmas with her. I don’t wanna spend Christmas with my mum because whenever I’m with her for too long I get really sick and depressed and all she does it make fun of me, my weight,body hair, my stutter anything she knows will hurt me she makes fun of, I also don’t wanna go to her house for Christmas because I don’t know her new family. She yeah am I the asshole for not wanting to spend Christmas with my mum
