Am I wrong for holding onto my boundary?

My sister has a boyfriend and they’ve had 2 miscarriages it is known that “he’s only pushed her” not my words and he degrades her, cheats, he abandons her in random places when he gets upset with her, & is a coke dealer. We’ve been no contact for months as a family but my mom is pushing it and saying that I need to get over it and it’s not like he did anything to me but I don’t think that’s someone I want around my kids i purposely chose not to have stuff like this toxicity in my home/marriage so now I’m expected to expose them to this mess at family gatherings? Wherever he is I won’t be and that’s that but my mom is making me feel like I’m crazy for standing on this boundary but I grew up with alcoholics, drug addicts, family fights, toxic relationships, and pedophiles so I don’t feel like my mom has the best track record on this and I want to prevent that from being my kids childhood experience too

Question regarding 62 million visits in one month to share, view and discussions videos and tips involving the drugging and sexual assault of women—many described as wives or intimate partners. Women: have you asked your husband, boyfriend, father, brothers, sons, coworkers, or other men in your life what they think about this story? What was their response? And if this investigation made you question whether something similar could have happened to you or someone you love? My thoughts are we moved past this way too quickly.

My intention is not to trigger anyone but to have a discussion regarding how we can hold men accountable.

Holiday drama

My mom and I have been disagreeing on things when it comes to holidays and involving family. We are bumping heads because she doesn't and doesn't want me to call out the "family members" who are extremely cheap.

Anyways this "cousin" constantly is bragging about being a ups driver and how much he makes but EVERY holiday he only brings enough food for ONE PERSON and then expects his family of 4 PLUS their daughters friend and boyfriend to eat what everyone else brings. They also make a To-go plate first so they have a little bit of everything.

Anyways long story short, For Easter, I am going to write a text to the whole family chat basically saying that everyone needs to bring a meat to grill and a side dish and ENOUGH to feed a group.

My mom thinks I am over reacting by creating a text. But honestly I don't think I am because groceries are expensive and it shouldn't be the whole families responsibility to feed his whole family!

Postpartum mental health

Relationships and family

I'm almost 24 years old, I've been dating my boyfriend since 8 months ago, and i only live with my mom and little sister. My mom doesn't know anything about me having a boyfriend, I grew up in a very toxic but loving family. She's a narcissist who always plays the victim when I stand for myself. She's very controlling, trying to know every single step and movement i do, and making it look like a way of protection for me and my well-being, I don't know how to tell her that im grown enough and that I also need some freedom to live my life, she's easily to get angry and aggressive she had hited me in other occasions, I'm scared of her but I feel like hide it more tume in only draining me mentally and emotionally. Any suggestions please, someone else had the same situation? Any advice will be well appreciated 👏.

Single parents

Fear of being single mom

Every pregnancy I realize my fiance and I aren’t compatible. He picks arguments with me about the stupidest things it’s like if he’s on his period everyday. Then he threatens to leave me. I feel like after this I might tie my tubes and I fear imma just end up a single mom eventually down the road.
