“NTA There is no peace. There is just everyone deciding to back your mom’s behavior by being passive. They openly allow your partner to be treated like garbage so they don’t have to deal with difficult situations caused by your mother. They are letting her get away with terrible behavior. I am both Puerto Rican and Catholic – so that’s like having a PHD in guilt tripping. I would go straight to her and say something like, ‘Why don’t you love me or respect me enough to not treat my partner this way? Do you believe you raised a stupid woman who can’t make good choices on how to live her life or who to live with? Do you think you failed?’ “
