@cory_chipp: “That’s your mom” is exactly how abuse gets normalized. My mother wound isn’t just about my childhood it’s about the pain she still inflicts on me as an adult. If cutting her off sounds harsh from the outside, imagine how it feels to be her daughter. I have an adult daughter who is my best friend, so I know what a mother-daughter relationship can feel like. Being my mom doesn’t give her unlimited permission to hurt me. #motherwound #motherdaughter #childhoodtrauma #normalize #badmom
