::big safe hugs:: Reading that brought tears to my eyes (in a not bad way). So much of what you said sounds like so much of what I went through with my parents.
I'm so glad that they are no longer in your life, and that they don't know about you daughter. You deserve to have that freedom from them after all they put you through.
Well, my mom and I still talk. It's just my dad that I don't speak to.
I just wonder why my mom let me go be alone with him for two straight months per year for five years, knowing how he'd treated my brothers (her stepsons), and how he'd treated her.
I know that with my mom, she just tried not to think about it. She just kind of ignored it and hoped that nothing would happen. She never really gave me any solid answers when I asked her, so I think that they just shut off to the possibility and try to forget it
That's why I'm not inclined to ask my mom; I doubt I'd get a substantive answer, and it would probably only serve to start an argument that I'm just not up to dealing with, to be honest.

I don't have the courage to ask her though.
