I Am Freaking Out

[Isabelle]

I stopped talking to my Mom. I needed to process what happened. I was sick of pretending I was someone I was not. I have C-PTSD and around her nothing happened. So I was fine with that.
Now we are starting to communicate through Facebook. She said she was sorry. She wants to hear what happened. What she did wrong. Oh, my gosh I am scared I did not expect this response. I expected her to be like she had always been before. I really don't know how to handle that.

Sounds to me Isabelle that you have the door opening to be able to be honest with your mum and get some positive support. I would recommend treading carefully at first in case your mum has a change in attitude once she begins to hear things.

As long as the Facebook comments are private I see no harm in dipping your toes in the water as it may aide your healing process. Good luck.
