[quote=Anonymous]Growing up, my mom was emotionally abusive to me. I learned to look elsewhere (and primarily within) to fulfill my emotional needs. I started working at 16 and haven’t stopped. My mom never gave me a penny as an adult, which was fine - I love that I support myself. When I had kids, my mom never babysat or offered any assistance. No problem - I created a village with DH, friends and paid caregivers. As a result of my mom’s emotional, financial and physica unavailability, I have become self sufficient and independent. I don’t need anything from her. However, it also means there’s nothing tying me to my mom. About two years ago, my mom said something particularly cruel to me over the phone. I hung up on her. She has never reached out since, nor have I. It has made absolutely no difference in my life. [/quote]
