To not wanting to speak to my mom again

So before my dd was born, I would tell people I’m not going to send pictures of her or post her on social media. It was a personal choice. I don’t feel the need on updating strangers. And if they visit they can see her in real life instead of on a phone.

Obviously, my mom is my mom so when I sent her a pic I didn’t think anything of it. She was in agreement with this rule as she doesn’t post her own kids! Well my DH and my dad had both stepped out for a second to get food and it’s as if she was trying to wind me up because immediately she said I sent dd’s picture to one of her random friend’s son. And stated it is her granddaughter even though she never asks about her and rarely sees her. Obviously sent the photo to seem like the doting grandmother that she’s not.

This conversation is happening while I’m holding my dd btw who is about to sleep. I say to her it’s not right I specifically asked her to respect my wishes and she has the audacity to say it’s not my fault you are ashamed of your daughter. I get up to leave and tell her to get out my house she’s not welcome. She calls me a b and tells me to come fight her like the woman I am. Even when I’m holding dd she is screaming and causing a scene. I call DH to get her out and when they all come back she bursts into tears and tells everyone I kicked her out and told her to get the f out of my house. I don’t even swear so that’s a lie but now I wish I had.

She’s a toxic person who I want out of my life completely. She claims she’s going through menopause but she’s always been problematic (used to chase my dad around with knives and argue with his siblings when I was young.) Now that I have kids I realise how much of an awful mom she is and how cruel she has been at times (called me ugly when I was younger if I would call myself pretty.) This is the final straw because she is no longer an 18 year old young mom. She should know better than to act like this.
