Anyone who’s read my diary knows my mother is/was my primary abuser. I’ve had many goes at cutting her off but years of her abuse and gaslighting resulting in my resolve weakening. Complicated by her being Deaf and I’ve been brought up with the expectation from her and my wider family to be the fixer of all things and free interpreter.
Contract since my dad died a couple of years ago has been limited, with periods of none. But I’ve always let her wiggle her way back in, although much less each time.
I’m finally done. She has sent me dozens of messages over the past few weeks. All of them about her or weird selfies with filters fishing for compliments? Or something? More recently they’ve been accompanied by demands. Not once has she asked me how I’m doing. She’s incapable of it. I sent her a text back saying as much and that I found her rude for not even saying please. The reply I got made it very clear that she doesn’t care one little bit about me.
Not that she ever has, she’s caused me so much pain, literally and emotionally, for my whole life.
So yeah, I’m done. And now I need to ensure I don’t relent this time.
