Abusive mom

My mom was abusive from 5th grade till about a year ago I moved out after we got in a fist fight when she was drinking and I’d had enough. But now shes moving to a new place and wants me to come live with her again. I’m 16 and she says it s my choice but I dont think she has changed… I’m not sure what to do or how to tell her I cant go through all that again. I think we get along better at this long distance relationship … I don’t know how to tell her I dont want to live with her…

Answer #1

just tell her. tell her why you dont want to move in and why you think thats the best for the both of u

Answer #2

Do what you feel is best for YOU… I always put my Mom’s thoughts and feelings before my own when I was growing up and she didn’t do the same for me. You have to think about your happiness and your safety. Don’t let her guilt you into moving back if you know that’s not what is good for you…

Answer #3

maybe you could move half your stuff in, and try it, but tell her that one slip-up and youre moving out.

Answer #4

umm be like well mom I understand you want me there again and just be stright up and be but honestly I feel like you havent changed and I don’t wanna go through that again I mean she is giving you a choice so she is not forcing you to go anywwhere
