[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It was never just one thing... I just finally realized that life is too short and I didn't have time for the drama. That was 15 years ago. I think about it sometimes, but have no regrets.[/quote] This about sums it up for me. Given, there were a few things that acted more like catalysts (think drunken phone calls at 2 in the morning to berate me for some perceived slight), it was really the build up that did it. Mostly, I realized the only miserable person in the equation I could help was me - my mother was just being her toxic self and I realized she deeply got joy out of it in her own sick way. 20 years ago now, and hardest and best decisions I've ever made. She gave me enough reasons to need therapy from what she did or allowed to happen during my childhood - why would I continue to give her the rest of my life when, as an adult, I finally had a choice in the matter ?
