Talked to My Mother the First Time In Six Year

[Maryismymama]

Today, I remembered that my mom has facebook, and I do now, so I sent a friend request. My dad doesn’t like me talking to her as she has a past of drama and alcoholism., but I did anyway, because I haven’t spoke to her in 6 years. She is actually better now so there is no reason I think my dad should be opposed. Also, I am happy because now she goes to church and made a post thanking God for bringing family back together. Was I in the wrong to disobey dad? Also, turns out she is with her 4th husband, so apparently I have had a step dad for 3 years…kinda weird…idk. Sorry for ranting

I think you’re on the right path.

You are not wrong to communicate with your mother. You have the right to message her, since she is your mother, If you are a minor, still under your dad’s roof, I would encourage you to do it without rubbing your father’s nose in it; he doubtless has strong feelings of his own. No doubt he is also concerned for your wellbeing, so be careful not to tell your mother everything that goes on, until you know that she has really changed for the better.

If you are a minor, obey your custodial parent.

If you are still a minor, you really should not disobey your dad. He probably knows more than he is telling you. If you want to talk to her, talk to him about it first and ask him to allow you to visit with her. If you are an adult, then you are free to do as you like, but understand that there may still be more going on there that your dad didn’t share with you.
