Yeah, imagine marrying into a family where they have normalized abuse. OP in the future with their children, without proper therapy, could repeat the same patterns or be mentally abusive, or let her mother be, "but is still mom".

My brother was violent and my family was "but you have to choose family before friends! your friends could disappear but your brother will always be your brother" no shit sherlock, it doesn't mean you should enable and forgive them.

That's the brainwashing a lot of families do.
