[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The PP has a point.  If you're going to go NO CONTACT with a parent then the reason needs to be significant.  Most people need some help thinking that through because there are ramifications.  OP hasn't said anything about therapy or consequences or getting help for herself.  Therapy for herself should be her first step.  Otherwise she comes across as immature and emotionally stunted.[/quote]

This is the OP. Yes, I am already in therapy but am also dealing with PTSD after a very miserable visit with my mother a couple of months ago. I have been getting flashbacks of her anger and violence toward me over the years and I am done. She has been calling me to ask for money and sounds saccharine sweet over the phone. It's the Jekyll and Hyde duality which I find hypocritical and psychologically damaging. She's been known to contact people I know with random texts like "Please forgive me" which freaks them out. I thought about writing a letter but I know that will really freak her out to know that I am abandoning her for real.[/quote]
Do you think you need a better therapist?[/quote]
