Guest guest Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 As difficult as the holidays have always been, I am thankful that this year and those that follow will be happy because of my decision to go NC with my mother. My husband, our toddler and I moved over 600 miles away and couldn't be happier. For me there was no acceptable amount of contact after struggling for so many years with " but she's your mother " . The breaking point came after she tried to dampen my joy of becoming a mother. It was all brought to light the instant I gave birth. There is not one thing that could cause me to harm this child that grew within me and is me! What a terrible thing to never have experienced the type of love from my own " mother " - NADA indeed! I will not expose my daughter to her toxic nature. I am very thankful for this group and have read many, many posts that are helping my resolve, to gain strength in my decision and to heal. Blessings to you all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 I know what you mean. I went NC with Nada and the flying monkeys 1.5 years ago. It hurts so bad going through the holidays- seeing the happy families out at lunch today was awful- but this year I am grateful that my holiday season is not encumbered by attackers, that even if I feel lonely I am safe and that is a much better place than I was in last year!! > > As difficult as the holidays have always been, I am thankful that this year and those that follow will be happy because of my decision to go NC with my mother.
