@drsherrymaxy: Replying to @Christian You can forgive your mother and still realize that closeness with her doesn’t feel healthy for you. Sometimes the guilt isn’t telling you the boundary is wrong; it’s showing you how unfamiliar it feels to choose yourself. #ad #BookTok #EmotionallyImmatureParents #AdultDaughters #MotherWound
I literally can’t tell what’s AI and what isn’t anymore 😭 the cadence and blinking are throwing me off

My trauma is her fault but my healing is my responsibility. Her healing is her responsibility. I won’t give her a pass because of her trauma. She has to do the work.

The best thing I heard was “Would I allow this behavior from anyone else? Would I allow anyone else in my life to treat me this way?”

Ohhh…That’s why Toni Braxton said that if her family wasn’t her family, they would not be her friends. 😳

I remember when my mom passed and everybody had her job and her neighbors were talking about her and I really couldn’t relate to the person that she was with other people. My sister and I realize that she did everything she could to separate us as siblings and it worked until she passed. I always said she was jealous of me and I never quite understood why she would be jealous of me even though I’m wildly, autonomous, resilient, courageous, resourceful – all the things I feel like I learned from her. May she rest in peace. The longing for a mother never ends that’s why it’s so hard for people to understand it when the relationship is fractured, why people tell you you need to do more to fix the relationship. It’s very difficult to live your life and not have that connection with your mom, but in some cases, it just won’t happen.

my mom moved back in with me almost 10 years ago. it was supposed to be temporary and here we are. it's been a disaster and I told her it's time we live separately again. shes been crying and making comments about how she has no one and she's going to miss my daughter. I've now been struggling with moving separately and feeling guilty that she's going to be on her own. idk how to quit feeling this way because my mental health living with my mom as an adult has been destroyed

You can forgive her for the fact that she is broken, but you can also leave so she can’t continue to abuse you. Two things can occur simultaneously.

Yeah. Just like when I was 16, and she said “I love you, but I don’t LIKE you”. Uh, okay. Noted.

I don’t want to be around either of my parents and feel extremely guilty for it. They EXPECT compassion, consideration and kindness that they didn’t give and still dont

April Staley :
My mom would not make a good friend, I think that’s the reason why she doesn’t have any, because she is so male centered, as a passive aggressive attitude come out one minute she’s hot the next she’s cold and constantly have to change and sensor yourself to appease her.

My mother used to complain that my adult sister wouldn’t talk to her much…..once I became my own person, I saw exactly why you have to love some people from a distance

She's a different person to others than she is to me as her daughter. It's the split personality.

I understand and forgive her but because she doesn’t change her behavior towards me. I do not have any contact

When you sit and ask yourself would you pick your mom to be your mom again if it was an option?
