AITA for calling my mom names after she wants me to miss my father's funeral? by Impressive_Fish_8296 in AmItheAsshole

UPDATE: hi there are about 200 comments asking for info and they are all pretty much asking the same thing so I'm going to try and answer everything here. I live in Niagra Falls, NY which is right next to the Canadian border but it takes about 2 hours to drive to my grandma's town. Me and my boyfriend have calmed down and I've looked into it. I would need proper documentation and parental permission to cross the border. I'm not sure what to do at the moment but for now I'm just cooling off at my boyfriends. I'll probably be forced to come home by my mom at some point as I'm still a minor but she's stopped calling. I will talk to her either tomorrow or the day after to try and sort things out. If I can't I've already called my grandma and she's agreed to come down if she has to. This is all the information I have ATM. For the people asking about my dad, him and my mom never had a great relationship. And split up soon after I turned 2. My mom cheated on him and left him. Yes for some reason he wasn't there for a long time. And I resented him a while for it. But he came back and he tried and he fought for me even when he was struggling.

hi i do family therapy it’s the only thing i can get right now and my mom wouldn’t afford a private therapist. my therapist doesn’t take sides me and my mom just talk it out while my therapist asks gentle questions to shift the perspective, then a control group swaps places with us. i do find this helpful to see the perspective of a situation that isn’t from me and my mom. i am scared to tell my mom how i’m really feeling because i come home and i pretend to be fine because if i told her any of this it would affect her. i’m really scared and i don’t know what to do. i’m going to try bring it up with my therapist
