[quote=Anonymous]My mother is mentally ill. She was both physically and emotionally abusive throughout my childhood. As a teenager, she allowed her husband to emotionally abuse me, and to have questionable boundaries with me. I could forgive her if she would acknowledge that it was wrong and that she just didn’t know better, or lacked the tools to be a better parent. Instead, she gaslights, “these things never happened” or I “remember it wrong” , or she “doesn’t remember”. She also didn’t stop being abusive. A couple of years back she threatened to “knock my teeth out” over a perceived disrespect in front of my husband and toddler. I know a lot of the behavior is due to her illness, so I try and try to be understanding, but I need to keep her at arm’s length for my own sanity and well being.[/quote]
