[quote=Anonymous]PP’s seem to have empathy for the toxic mother. That’s fine, and the ability to have empathy is a great trait. However, here is a metaphor that helps me. Imagine an out-of-control vehicle speeding toward you on the sidewalk. It’s possible the driver is in a diabetic coma or other medical emergency. It is also possible the driver is a homicidal maniac. But if you stand still and get hit, it doesn’t matter WHY the vehicle is on the sidewalk; all that matters is the result. You wouldn’t hesitate for a moment to get yourself out of a physically unsafe situation. If an adult cannot manage her own trauma in a way that makes her emotionally safe to be around, then she’s just not safe for you. It doesn’t matter why. [/quote]
