My little island of evil

[radiantsolace]

Circles and cycles. I need to know that I come out of the process of my parent's divorce in tact. All boundaries have been obscured, emotional blades keep falling and responsibility is a word that carries the weight of my entire body with it

although our circumstances are entirely different, everything you wrote about resonated with me. I know you are hurting now and distance from your mother is probably the best thing for you.

Even though I don't want a relationship with my mother and I will most likely never invite my mother over for dinner, I don't think I can say I will 'never' see her again. There are times when I have questions I want to ask her and during those times I have hope that I can at least talk to her again. Most of the time I don't think about her and my life is great. A life without a mother is hard and emotional in it's own regards, but a life with a toxic mother is not one you should endure.

You and your beautiful family is what is important, your decisions should be (as they are now) in their best interest. I hope for you peace and strength during this seperation.

hugs!

The best thing I can say is that you can only do so much as an individual. Other people, including parents, have to meet you halfway. It's not all on you. You're very sensitive, and you're able to feel what others feel very easily. You want everyone you care for to be happy, but it's not all on you!

You have an abundance of inner strength. Trust me.
