[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am late 30s, my children are 5 and 1. I have not spoken to my mother in 7 years. Long story short, she is a narcissist, abusive (all forms) and bipolar. She has done some terrible, unforgivable things since I was a child, and therapy never helped. She has never acknowledged any of it, and has blamed everyone but herself for her life. I have done everything to try and have a healthy relationship with her with boundaries, but ultimately came to the realization once i was married that she is not going to change and I cannot keep torturing myself with trying to make things different. I have started thinking about my children and if/when they ask about her. I am not sure how to approach this, and am starting to feel a bit of guilt although I have absolutely no reason to. Has anyone gone through this, how did you get past it? I am and have been in therapy since i was 18. [/quote] Is mental illness your (her) fault?[/quote]
