AITA for not wanting to deal with the consequences of my mother's actions?

In 2016 my mom got a new bf. He seemed nice at first, but was actually crazy. Once she caught him cheating and refused to talk, so he relentlessly banged on the windows of our house and waited outside for hours til she would talk to him. Just one example of many things he did.

I never liked him. I was only 14 at the time, but pointed out that they had all the warning signs of an abusive relationship. She acknowledged it did, yet still chose to have us move in with him. My other two siblings and I became reclusive staying to our rooms to avoid arguing, and her bf's temper.

In less than a year my mom asked my us if we wanted another sibling to which all of us said no. She had the baby anyway. And after 2 years of being together she asked us if she should marry him to which all of us said no. It was not just my siblings either her friends and family expressed the same sentiment, yet she chose to ignore everybody.

In 2020 we moved out. My siblings and I helped with the baby while she worked and it wasn't an issue because of covid we couldn't leave the house regardless. But as things opened up it became a problem.

I argued it should not be me or my siblings responsibility as none of us put ourselves in that situation, and we actively advocated against the decision making that put us there. I was trying to say that if she made the decisions on her own she can deal with the consequences on her own. And to be fair she started to pay my siblings to watch her in 2020, but they never really had a choice of wether or not they wanted to. I worked a lot to avoid getting stuck watching her.

It reached it's climax in Sept. 2022. My sister (13) was expressing that she feels my mom is too hard on her. My mom disagreed, and I stuck up for my sister as she's not the only one who's said that. Many of my friends have expressed the same sentiment. I used this as an opportunity to rehash that its not my siblings or my responsibility to watch the youngest as it was one of the things my sister was upset about. My mom completely broke down. I sat with my sister on the front porch and reassured her it wasn't her fault as she felt it was. My mom listened to the conversation on the door camera.

She told me she was disgusted by my mindset, and that I am selfish, ungrateful and manipulative. All because I told my sister she should not feel bad for anything she did and that she did nothing wrong. My mom kicked me out and I've been living with my dad since. She tried to say that I don't love my half sister, and told her friend that me and all my siblings are narcissists.

My mom has since tried to talk to me casually like nothing happened. She sends me stuff about my half sister, and memes on instagram but I always ignore it. I just want her to acknowledge that she's in the wrong or at least apologize for what she said, but she always makes herself the victim. She told me she's tired of being everybody's punching bag, and that nobody appreciates the work she's doing on herself.
