what led to this

so two years ago i was a strong,in an exclusive relationship lesbian. we dated for 3 years, but the last 2 years wasnt the best of years. we fought, argued and everything you could imagine in an abusive relationship. then my mother came from a foreign country and moved in with us in the last seix months or so of the relationship, now i must say she was wayyy older than me, even 1 year older than my mom. for some odd reason she hated my mom, im not sure if she felt that with my mom being here in the US i would share my love for her and it wouldnt be the same no more. she made smart remarks about my mom, about where she's from (which is a poor country), one day i even heard her on the phone bashing my mom to one of our mutual friend. that did it for me, mind you i am my mothers only child and i only have 1 mom so there is no way i will let anyone disrespect my mom. i felt trapped, didnt know how i would survive on my income. then, thats when things started to turn around for me. I met a friend he was/is the most amazing person in the world, he never judge me, though he may give me an opinion, he respect me but we live far from one another. i would talk to him to mentally block the chaos that was going on at home...
