My parents got divorced when I was pretty young and I lived with my mom for awhile. Then once I got older, had my son and got away from my son's father I lived with my dad because my mom was a truck driver and didn't have a stable place for me to live.
Anyway, my mom is always talking negatively about my dad, trying to make it sound like he's a bad father/person. I get along with my dad way better than my mom. She has been on drugs (the hard stuff) and an alcoholic for as long as I can remember. She got remarried and she's not a truck driver anymore so she's doing a lot better but the drugs took a toll on her mind. So of course, I've always been closer to my dad.
My dad recently bought a new 2013 Dodge Charger and he let me drive it the other day. I posted pictures of me in the car on my Facebook and my mom had to give her two cents about it. She was saying that she can't believe my dad bought a new car because she has always sacrificed everything for her children and never once indulged on something expensive for herself (well her drugs were pretty expensive but I didn't bring that up). She was just trying to make my dad feel like crap. My brother and I are grown now so if my dad wants to buy a nice brand new car and move into a log cabin house, go for it! He deserves that and so much more.

That is really sad that your mother is still trying to cause drama with your father. I don't think he did anything wrong by buying himself something. It's not like he has young children that need things and he did that. Why not enjoy his life now? I don't see the issue...I guess some people always have to blame others for their mistakes. I hope one day she can be at peace and not be so angry towards him for everything.

Sorry to hear that your mom still harbors such anger toward your dad. Must put you in an awkward spot. Gosh, my ex and I had a terrible breakup and yet...its over. He stops by to see the girls or the grandkids...no hard feelings. He doesn't even knock half the time...just walks in and it's ok. He is coming here next week to take care of our grandson while I'm at work. I was married to him for 13 yrs...I have no problem with him making himself comfortable in my home. What is sad is that your mother is still bitter and it affects you. You are all grown and it doesn't matter who was at fault for the divorce. The battle should of ended long ago. Oh and for the record...my ex bought land and built a house while not paying child support....still..not worth arguing over. Yep..I was upset when I first learned that but ya know...at least he has something to hand down to the kids. It really wasn't worth arguing over. Its all material stuff.my girls know that both of us love them very much and that is what is important.

Man¥ people think they can make themselves look better by tearing someone else down, but it usully doesn't work that way, except, maybe, with small children.

I agree with you a hundred percent. Just based on what you've stated in this discussion your Mom sounds like she is a very unhappy person. I know the type, they are miserable with how their lives turned out but instead of putting the blame on the bad choices they made in their lives they blame everyone else for their unhappiness & begrudge them any happiness that they manage to have. The best thing to do is simply ignore her comments & don't allow her to stress you out. As my Mom used to say, "Misery loves company"

definitely have a similar story to his family.
my mother just like your mother, anger towards my father are separated when I was two years old.
Now on to my mother raised me alone for that, and thank you.
yet and it bothers her very much.
I think the most important thing is to ignore their feelings because it does not affect you.
You and your bad.
