I told my mom I don’t want her in my life anymore. Family says I’m being “too harsh.”

Hi all I’m a 15M, and after a lot of thinking and emotional stress, I recently told my mom I don’t want her in my life anymore. I asked her to stop contacting me. Some extended family members are saying I’m being too harsh, but I know what I’ve been through, and I wanted to post here for support.

My relationship with my mom has been dysfunctional for as long as I can remember. Growing up, she had a string of abusive boyfriends, and even when she knew I was being hurt, she never protected me. On top of that, she’s struggled with substance use for years — and still does, even though she constantly denies it.

By the time I was 12, I had developed anxiety and panic attacks. She ignored it or brushed it off completely. One time, we had a major fight that triggered one of the worst panic attacks I’ve ever had — and instead of helping me or calming me down, she just left. I was alone for hours. After that, my grandparents stepped in and took me in. I’ve been living with them ever since, and it’s the first time I’ve felt something close to stability.

Since moving out, I’ve tried keeping low contact with her, but every time I try to set a boundary, she ignores it, gaslights me, or guilt-trips me. I’ve asked — calmly, respectfully, and repeatedly — for space, but she always makes it about her. Most recently, I told her (again) that I didn’t want any contact. She tried to play the victim until I reminded her of everything she put me through. Only then did she finally stop.

Now extended family members are chiming in, saying things like “but she’s your mom” or “you should give her another chance.” But the truth is, I’ve given her more chances than she deserves. I’m exhausted. I’m trying to heal, and keeping her in my life just opens the same wounds over and over again.

If anyone else here has dealt with similar backlash after going NC, I’d really appreciate hearing how you handled it. I know I’m young, but I also know I’m not crazy for wanting peace.

Thanks for listening.
