Backstory:

I'm your typical redpill case. I grew up a literal soy boy with my mom being a soy freak. My dad and her got divorced pretty early in my childhood. I lived with her for a while because she claimed my dad was mentally abusive, but after I got to know my dad he's a pretty great man. I've been lurking TRP since October last year when I got my heartbroken by my oneitis I tried to LDR (Long story not really relevant to this post, but guess how that ended and you've probably hit the nail on the head). I was lurking as usual when my music paused and I accidentally overheard my sister talking to my mom on the phone.

The Hard Pill To Swallow:

My sister recently broke up with her LTR and was trying to go out with an ex, but I guess he stood her up and she was calling my mom for advice. I heard my name after I accidentally hit the pause key on my laptop and started heading upstairs because I thought my sister was calling me. Halfway up the stairs I heard my mom say that when she was in high school she was in a relationship with a good guy who genuinely loved her to bits and my dad came along so she abruptly ended it with beta billy and ended up marrying my dad. From the stories I've heard from my dad it seems like she realized betafying him wouldn't work so she claimed he was a manipulative abuser and divorced him. Now two failed relationships later she's still on the phone telling my sister how much she still loves my dad even though he's remarried( I can hear her on the phone as I'm typing this downstairs). I'm still in shock that this is my own mother I'm writing about. Of course I still love and respect her because she's my mom, but after hearing how she left beta billy from high school for my dad and also knowing about how she lost one of the relationships after my dad (Guy A wouldn't commit so she went out with a back burner Guy B she knows Guy A didn't like because he hit on her all the time and Guy A fucked off after finding out) its really hit me that she's been this way a long time. All those excuses I've heard from her for doing some of the things she's done were really just excuses. I guess AWALT really means AWALT.
