i live in canada. i was a long time friend of angel haines.
on monday february 14, our nearly 12 year long friendship came crashing to an end.
over the course of that weekend, on february 12 angel had told me that after living with the concert mom that her living situation had become unsafe along with allegations of abuse.
that did not make sense to me. at that time angel told me not to talk to concert mom or her daughter, which was a familiar pattern any time angel had a falling out with someone in her life.
now we need to rewind to october 2021
angel and i would facetime a lot over the course of the four and a half months of angel living with concert mom. angel spent a lot of time near concert mom so in turn i spoke with concert mom a lot too during angel’s stay with her. ironically, my son —- my first child was about 4 and a half months old when this whole thing started.
as a new mom it was really great for me to be able to talk to an experienced mom, so while i was on the calls with angel i would talk to concert mom a lot about the musings of motherhood.
concert mom always made me feel seen and validated as a new mom.
i was a complete stranger to concert mom, yet she was so sweet and supportive to me as soon as we were introduced to each other. that says a lot about a woman’s character. from the get go concert mom gave me the impression of a genuinely kind and strongly maternal soul.
we shared many video calls over those four and a half months and during that time i could see how much love and care she was pouring into angel, under the impression that she was keeping angel safe from harm. i knew for a fact that angel was being well taken care of, angel was receiving so much love.
there had been multiple times over those four and a half months that angel had expressed to me how deeply grateful she was for everything that concert mom had done for her.
i remember a video call that concert mom was asking me what angel’s favorite food was because she wanted to ensure that angel felt included in a family holiday tradition.
so when angel told me not to talk to them, i knew that something was very off about that. i couldn’t understand why angel would suddenly be feeling unsafe after those months of being so grateful to be in a nice home — away from the supposed harm she was threatened by, she was being treated with more love and respect than she has ever had in her life.
something just didn’t add up. i didn’t listen to what angel said and i reached out, because i knew that there was no plausible way that angel could have been harmed by concert mom.
angel had me feeling crazy for lack of better terms, i needed to know what really happened for my own sanity.
i’m so glad i reached out, i was scared of the repercussions of angel finding out that i was in contact with concert mom. learning the truth made me lose that long “friendship” i had with angel, but it was worth it.
i gained clarity, i’ve made connections with some amazing people, i’ve been able to start to heal from everything angel put me through with her mountain of lies. angel put us all through a lot.
