Hi Witty,
First of all (((Witty))). I too have been abused by my mother and sometimes I think it is the worse of all evils. Mothers are not suppose to abuse, right? Very few people can comprehend this , and most expect you to "honor thy parents". I finally cut the strings and ended all contact with my mom (it is hard to call her that because she never was a "mom", more like a "monester".) It has been 7 years since I have cut off contact. It was what I needed to do to stop the abuse, and to protect my kids from her.
I understand you not being able to stand up to her. It took finding out she held a gun to my brothers head 2 days after X-mas, 2 days after my dad passed away. That was the last straw for me.
In a way it was a blessing, becuase I got away from her and had good reason to in my mind. Even tought I had plenty of reasons before that. Eventually you have to make a decision for yourself. Some people will never understand if you cut off contact, but many of us here do, so this is a great place to come. Please babblemail me if you like to talk. It is a horrible situation to be in. Please take care, and keep yourself safe.
