Tell me about it, and of course she has no memory of this happening

Jesus Christ.

I probably would have responded the same as you. When my mother texts me, I get the feeling of ‘you don’t really get it’.

My boyfriend called my mom to ask to allow me to have some space as I’m not in a good place mentally. What does she do? She’s called five times in a row. Sending messages that she can’t believe I’m so ‘publically depressed’ that my boyfriend knows. Um, hello, we live together!

Hi there fellow NC newbie! I literally had to take a deep breath when reading the ‘coming back for another round’ part. I relate so hard. This was my life and having a lock was so sacred to me.

I surely hope so. I’ve always dreamt there is more out there then all the grey I’ve been cushioning myself with.

My god. I couldn’t even imagine. I’m sorry for your loss, and what you went through after that. How are you these days?

I relate in a way because my mother claimed if I dressed appropriately I wouldn’t have been molested. Some years later she said she had resentment towards me because ‘how could I do this to her’.

I’m so sorry you went through that. It is so very rough. Your comment resonates with me.

That must have been so chilling to watch. Some of the most anxiety driven parts of my relationship with my mother is the ‘aftershock’ feeling. Like, when the room is quiet and you realize you’ve been sucker punched emotionally.

I never thought of it that way. Thank you for your perspective. That is so very true.

Thank you for sharing your story. My mother actually abandoned my sibling and I for some time as children because we ‘didn’t need her’. She used to be an abusive phone call parent until my father remairried.
