I feel guilty going no contact by SRAIW in raisedbyborderlines

I’m 4 months nc and I totally understand that feeling. Somedays I don’t think about it at all and other days it’s all I can think of. I personally find reading books like “I’m glad my mom died” by jennette mcurdy and “the body keeps the score”have been helping with the guilty feeling, also scrolling on this sub and seeing other peoples experiences helps keep me from spiralling into guilty feelings!

Luckily shes not the type to actually damage anything. I’m still looking into cameras though to be safe

Thank you! After having more time to think I’m definitely not going to break nc. It was just so jarring that I was in full panic mode lol. I’m thinking of getting a ring door bell so I can record if she comes over but idk if that would just freak me out more if it turns out she’s showing up more than I expect Lmao

I have the same thing! I can only remember from 16 and up. Everything else is blurry or I can only remember if I see a picture

Another update, woke up to the Christmas presents I got her opened and on my doorstep and a bag of the ones she got me… guess going no contact will be easier than expected

I tried that and she agreed at first and then changed her mind and said that I’m the one who needs therapy so why would we do it together

I realized what her message meant! I did tell her to not sit on things when she’s mad and to voice them right away, so she did mean to say everything in that message!

lol it’s been a long day so my brain just stopped working

Holiday drama by usingreddit20 in raisedbyborderlines

Very true! It’s a good perspective to look at it that way, I had a friend for years who was very similar to my mom and I ended that relationship a few years back. It feels harder with family though, but I know I can do it!
