ReadIt/ Relationship Guidance
Hey Readit/RG, it's me again. The girl whose mom all but ditched her for her shitty stepdad. I linked my previous post above but I'll give a brief recap.
My mom is a beautiful bigger redhead who all my life has been constant in 2 things, being an awesome mom, and seeking approval from men. Unfortunately the second habit won out three years ago, when in what I assume was a fit of empty nest panic my mom started dating and became engaged to Greg (Fake name). Greg was...an asshole. He was loud, arrogant, trashy, and generally just awful to be around. He was your typical "The Liberals!" facebook guy in his forties. Pit vipers, bald, shitty tattoos, thought crappy tattoo artist T Shirts were appropriate for all occasions, and worst of all, a creep. He'd hit on me when my mom wasn't around, and my friends right in front of her. It quickly became so bad I didn't bring friends over when I went home during the summer, and after that first summer I didn't even feel comfortable going home. This caused a huge rift between me and my mom and we ended up saying some things we regretted. I called her a pathetic slut so eager for male attention she'd sell me out, she called me a jealous stuck up spoiled bitch. I said that if she felt that way, we didn't need to be in each others lives anymore, and went low contact. She's reached out a number of times since, and my grandmother has reached out as well asking me to at least hear my mom out (Not that she's a fan of Greg either), but I stay firm. As long as Greg is in her life, I don't wanna be.
And that brings us to today! I got a text from my grandma with a screenshot of Mom's facebook. Apparently she'd broken up with Gary. Not just broken up with him but dumped him like a load of trash very publicly. She'd almost immediately picked up a new boytoy, little more than half her age, barely 5 years older than me! All this had happened in the past two months while my Grandma had been on vacation in our home country. So...now I'm stuck. Do I reach out? Or do I wait for her to make the first move? Would appreciate advice for people who've been in this situation before.
UPDATE!
I received an email from my mom's new boyfriend about 24 hours after my first post. I guess Mom asked him to reach out since I blocked her. He seems nice, aware that he's in a weird position, but seems to want to help me and mom reconnect. We trash talked Greg for a bit together back and forth. I'll call him Jordan for the purposes of this update.
Jordan has invited me to dinner at his place with my Mom. He'll play peacemaker, no expectations. I agreed.
Now I need advice on how to handle this situation of meeting my mom's boyfriend (who's only 29) at the same time I'm seeing her for the first time in years.
ReadIt/ Wine
What's a good wine to bring to dinner with your mom? I want something sweet I won't mind drinking but something that says "I'm a mature adult with good tastes."
ReadIt/ AmIAJerkface
Am I a jerkface if I don't want to forgive my mom for choosing a man over me?
I'll link my previous posts so you can see but basically my mom chose her ex boyfriend Greg over me and we went out of contact for two years. Now she's broken up with Greg and is with this amazing guy Jordan (who's only a little older than me but so...wise? Calm? He's chill and cool) and is reaching out trying to mend our relationship. But I don't wanna open myself up just to get hurt again if she decides Jordan is more important than me, or ditches him for another douchebag.
Am I being a jerkface?
ReadIt/TodayIGoofed
Today I goofed up by bringing my friend over to my mom's house with me for drinks. Jodie is a friend from my Ethics class and had asked to hang out on the same night as I had planned to have drinks with my mom and her boy toy (not derogatory, just what we all call him, himself included). Well I asked mom and BT if they'd mind Jodie joining us and for some reason I sent a picture. They said sure and we met them at their place last night for drinks. We're all of age and BT (his name will be Jordan since I've used that for him before) is great with mixed drinks.
Well I hit my mom's vape pen a couple times and have one too many and soon enough I'm gone. I didn't even think about it, it all happened so fast. Jordan is a good waiter and doesn't let your drink go empty and I guess I'm not used to smoking wax. I pass out in a lawn chair and wake up to Jordan carrying me (all 250 lbs of me) and setting me down in my old room! I mean I knew dude was huge and jacked but y'all I'd never been just carried like that before. He set me down and went back to the patio where I could hear Mom and Jodie laughing.
When I woke later I saw something that shocked me beyond belief. Jodie had her head buried in my mom's chest and Jordan was screwing her from behind. I mean I was partly horrified and partly scared for her life. Mom's boobs are so big I could no longer see my friends face and the way Jordan was fucking her I worried he'd snap her neck.
Now my mom has a promiscuous past but Jordan seemed like an aww shucks country bumpkin before this! I didn't think they were swingers and I definitely didn't think Jodie would....
Well I pretended to try to go back to sleep and covered my ears. But now Jodie has been excitedly talking about going back with me for drinks next week and I'm trying not to vomit at the thought.

Hi, so I'm not even sure what I'm asking here, but is there like a roofie that makes you horny and obsessed?
I know it sounds nuts but two of my friends who've come with me to my mom's house have ended up fucking her and her boyfriend. Also, afterwards they're like obsessed with my Mom and her boyfriend and keep asking to go back over or asking if mom and her boyfriend asked about them. It's really creepy and I wanna make sure I'm not...I dunno helping my mom start a sex cult?
