Another nice surprise by the scale!

I guess not surprisingly I have been thinking about my mother and the way she is and how she has treated my sister and me. I have had random thoughts cross my head about appropriate responses to her and the most recent one - which spun me into deeper thought - was "and you wonder why my sister is an alcoholic in an abusive relationship". That got me actually thinking.

I don't blame my mother or my past for who I am today. But growing up with her was not easy. As I said before, I moved out when I was 13 and I am very lucky to have had my father as a person to talk to and for a place to live. But I am very different from my sister and while we grew up together, she got it worse. She was molested twice by different people, she stayed with my mother longer, and she just isn't a fighter like I am. I was always the one telling everyone what was right/wrong/off. The relationship the two of them have is VERY unhealthy.

Also, as I said before, my son adores my mother. He is not a fighter like me. He is a nice person, super kind, and more like his father. But he is strong and happy with himself and able to accept it's "their crazy" and not his. I think he will be ok if, and I have not yet decided my plan, I continue to have my mother in our lives.

What she did isn't the end of the world, it just made me realize she will never change. It made me contemplate if I wanted that toxicity in my life.

Great job

My parents are good people. I totally understand where they are coming from. I don't live close enough to them because if I did their effect on me and the kids would be other than what I prefer. You can love your parents and completely disagree with much of how they operate. I do love my parents, I really do, I just don't want to live close to them. 💙

I completely get this. I had to cut ties with my mother 18 years ago, and my father 8 years ago. I don't take this lightly at all. It's definitely not always the right course of action. But I realized I could not move on, heal, and become the person I wanted to be for my kids while they were in my life. I pray you have peace about whatever decision you have to make. ❤️
