so wanted to ask for some advice about my emotionally abusive mom and family, what do you do when your mom has legal custody of your daughter but she's still treating me like im a teenager and emotionally abuses me ? do I cut all contact with my mom or try to just set a lot of boundaries because of my daughter?

Is there a court order in place, does your daughter have a social worker on her case? I don't know the details of your situation, but I was in a similar one. I put up with my mother for my son, even though it was miserable. I had to accept the fact that my mother did not care about me. It was so hard. I communicated with her only to see my child and be a part of his life. 15 years later, I wish I had handled things differently and fought for my son instead of allowing him to be raised by my toxic family. In the end, it is all about your daughter, do whatever you have to in order for her to have a good life. If that means setting boundaries with your mother, then do that. I just think you would regret cutting her off and not being a part of your daughter's life. I would just suggest communicating with your mother only about your daughter, absolutely nothing else.
@ceruleanstar i don't have visitation set up but I plan on setting up supervised visits for my safety from my mom not because I can't be trusted around my daughter and ah okay I can set boundaries with her then
@Unicornslayer27 Yes, definitely set up supervised visits! That's a very smart idea for yourself. I'd go as low-contact with your mom that you can and only stick to talking to her about your daughter when you ABSOLUTELY have to. It's what I wish I had done with my mom, it would've saved me a LOT of heartache if I had accepted that she didn't care anything about me a lot sooner. I'm sorry you're struggling, I know how hard it is.
Also my mom doesn't care about me emotional or physical needs just my daughters needs and me taking care of her thats it
