I feel so happy.

After dealing with my moms shit for so long (having her call me when shes drunk, just being overall mean etc. etc.)
She finally put the straw on the camels back which caused it to break by harassing my older sister who doesnt want to talk to her and when i asked her not to put me in the middle of their fight she got really mean to me I told her to "enjoy her new family cuz her old one wants nuttin to do with her" and to "fuck off and never call me again"

I know this sounds so evil but I feel so like happy that I finally had the guts to do this!

that doesn't sound evil at all. if you feel better now, then it was probably a good thing to do. it can be hard and a little sad to cut off toxic relationships, particularly with family members, but in the long run, we usually do feel better. people who don't respect us or are mean and make our lives harder can stunt us and hold us back in ways we don't even realize. so good for you for doing what you feel like you needed to. :)

I wish I had the guts to say that to my mom. It sounds exactly like my situation.

Sometimes you gotta tell people off to get your point across. Hell, I've done it to my mom plenty of times. I think it actually improved our relationship. Good for you!

I was in a similar situation with my mom a couple years ago and I didn't talk to her for a couple months. I think it improved the relationship. When my mom decides she needs to try and run my life (like when I decided to leave BD, move out and move back in with my ex) I just didn't talk to her for a few weeks. I hated being mean, but it helped and now she knows I make my own decisons regardless of what other people think.

No it isn't evil - its self preservation.
And it is right you feel proud of putting your emotional comfort first, behind the rights of someone who thinks they can talk to you like shit.

I have had no contact with my father for over a year and have never regretted it, life is less complicated now that he has no way of contacting me.
