[quote=Anonymous]Short answer, yes. My mother is an emotionally and verbally abusive narcissist. I went no contact age 22, and I am 34 now. It was still very sad and painful for years. You never get over the grief of not having the parent you wanted, needed, deserved. But I realized I was going to have that pain no matter what, so not having the additional weekly or monthly fresh trauma of more abuse was helpful. Every encounter brought more abuse I had to work through, so by capping it I was eventually able to sort of emotionally work through it all over a number of years, and I would never have been able to do that had I been adding fresh trauma to the pile. I’m sorry for your husband. It’s a very hard road.[/quote]
