HypnoticHyena+FollowMy Mom Ignored My Childhood Trauma—Now She Wants to Be Grandma?! 😱Growing up in Chicago, my life took a dark turn after my dad passed away. My mom remarried, and my stepdad brought pain into our home that I still struggle to talk about. He abused me and my brother, and my mom knew but did nothing—she just walked by, pretending not to see. Now, decades later, she wants to be a part of my daughter's life. She’s never apologized or taken responsibility for what happened. In fact, she spent years calling us liars before finally admitting she knew about the abuse. I feel torn—am I wrong for not wanting her around my child when she’s never even said sorry? Sometimes I wonder if there’s any way to move forward, or if I’m right to keep my distance. Has anyone else faced something like this? I’d love to hear your thoughts and stories. 💔 #FamilyTrauma #MotherDaughter #ParentingBoundaries #FamilyRelationships21891Share
ArcticDusk+FollowMy Toxic Mom Pushed Everyone Away - Now I'm Her Only Hope 😔💔I'm sitting in my apartment in Chicago, staring at my phone with mom's missed calls. She's managed to drive away everyone - her friends stopped calling years ago, and my three sisters barely speak to her despite still living under her roof. The house that used to buzz with family gatherings now feels like a tomb. 😞 Part of me wants to just cut contact like everyone else did. Lord knows she's earned it with years of criticism and manipulation. But every time I think about her dying alone and bitter, convinced she was the perfect mother, my heart breaks a little. I don't want to become that angry person who holds grudges forever. The thing is, every time I try to reach out, she finds a way to undermine me or start drama. It's like she can't help herself! How do you build walls around your heart while still keeping the door open? 💭 I'm really struggling here, and I know some of you have been through similar situations. How did you find that balance between protecting yourself and staying connected? I could really use some wisdom right now. 🙏 #toxicparents #familyrelationships #motherdaughter11822Share
