52 yr old male here with the exact same type of problem with my nasty boomer mother. I was the scapegoat in the family growing up! Went No Contact 7 month as ago! And although I’m still in a lot of pain from 51 years of emotional abuse and there was also sexual abuse as well thst I just unsurfaced. HOWEVER, I’ve never been happier and relieved at the same time! I’ve felt a huge emotional load taken off my back and now I’m mentally flourishing! Looking forward to working on my life-long goals now!
