My family met my boyfriend for the 1st time... Someone please tell me why my mom thought it was appropriate to ask my boyfriend if he's an "illegal"?

Because he's not white and he was born in another country she automatically assumed he's here illegally... He had to correct her that he's a US citizen and has been for over ten years now to which she told him, "Oh then Trump loves you". Only my mom... Can I get a new mom please?

You can’t get a new mom, but there’s no rule that says you can’t be disgusted with the one you have. There are plenty of assholes in the world, and some of them are parents.

@SW-User True. As someone once told me you can't choose your biological family but you can choose to disassociate from them when they're problematic/toxic.

@NaturallyPeculiar When I was 18, someone I respected a great deal said to me “He might be your father, but you don’t have to like the son-of-a-bitch”. That stuck with me.
