To want to know nothing?

Back story is my mum is a stepmother to 3 adult children of my dad. They've never liked her and never made an effort to hide it. Between them all I've always felt torn in loyalty for my mum but also my half siblings as we were brought up together as my dad had custody.

One child moved abroad over 20 years ago. Parents went out to stay with them for 7 weeks and are now on route home due to whatever has happened.

My dad's other daughter got her daughter to message me on Facebook and demanded I call her ASAP. Dh decided to call as I had managed to read the facebook page of one of the others which his other 2 daughter slate my mum badly and all my full cousins are liking it.(stupid idiot has her page public) Due to me telling dh that if I wasn't good enough to be told what was happening then I didn't want to know what had happened as it doesn't affect me.

DH phones and it is what I suspected, them wanting to get their side into me doing what they always try to do and turn me against my mum. My mum isn't perfect, I know that and I also know that if you ply her with alcohol, well you get what you deserve.

So AIBU that I do not wish to know what has happened and don't even want to discuss it as nobody thought to tell me before demanding I call them that anything had happened and that my parents have cut their holiday short for whatever shitty reason?

The Jeremy Kyle show has a website I believe.

Bleurgh I'd take a machete to Jezza after the amount of grief he's caused colleagues and months of hard work down the drain from that weasle

I think there's been a fight when my mum's been drunk. She won't remember it.

I seem to spend my life getting 3 versions theirs, my mum's and then my dad's. Dh plans to field calls and speak to my dad first and explain how I feel.

Considering my so called half sisters have ignored me for about 5 years, they had a complete cheek wanting me to call them to get their version. Obviously the whole family bar me and my brothers kids know whats happened as I emailed my eldest niece who's 27 and she replied OMG the bitch in OZ strikes again.
