[quote=Anonymous]I am very torn about a situation. My mother has always been pure evil. She berated me on a daily basis since I was a young child, swearing at me, calling me horrible names, telling me how horrible, lazy, stupid, mean, worthless I was, etc. She was a single parent so I had no one else to go to for love. She withheld any affirmations of love or even physical touch like a hug my entire upbringing. Now I am in my 30's and have a wonderful husband and children. I have a lot of shame and insecurity I carry with me and I find it gets so much better when I go longer without talking to her. She brings me right back to that childhood in any conversation and I have to start all over on the work I have done in therapy. I saw two therapists who insisted I cut her off. I am better without her but I also feel guilty because she provided for me physically, with clothes, meals, opportunities like college and a home. She is better than she was before but she can can turn in 2 seconds flat if she starts to feel tired or unwell and get back into that evil personality and she lacks boundaries and control. Is this a situation you would cut your mother off or would you indulge her with a few trips a year even if it was extremely stressful and hurtful for you?[/quote]
