My mother posted this on my ex-fiancés Facebook post after I broke up with him. She took his entire side and kicked me out of the house afterwards. Then got angry and cut connection with me when I willingly decided to move out with my current boyfriend.

Woah you're getting a lot of flak. I was in a very similar place at your age. Ridiculous engagement, my ex treated me like garbage, all my friends were actually just his friends so I could never get an unbiased opinion and he was VERY good at manipulating people. My parents especially liked him, which says a lot considering he was arrested for shoplifting once when we were all out together. When he told one of our friends that he was trying to make me hurt myself (which was cute, I was no where near that lol) that friend came and told me what he was trying to do cause, you know, common decency and whatnot. That friend ended up being the only person I felt I could really talk to about him and, after being treated the way I had, it only seems natural looking back that I developed feelings for him. I broke it off with my ex once I realized what I was feeling.

Was I a saint in the situation? Definitely not. But losing our entire friend group and the support of my parents over a break up that should have happened long before felt like punishment enough.

My boyfriend and I moved in together after a year of dating and ten years later, here we are with a beautiful daughter and a lovely life.

There's a lot of immaturity and insecurity in your actions, sure, but given the situation and your age it's not only understandable but expected. I wish you the best of luck in finding yourself and in your relationships. Take care.
