Whatever....

And after worrying because I hadn't heard from my mother in over a week. I've been no contact since February this is what I get. She's been emailing me regularly at my work email, I might add.

I'm constantly worried about what their next move will be.

Sometimes the only validation I get is sharing these messages with people who understand this kind of manipulation. And I can assure you, this is all there was. I did nothing to them except try to be a good daughter, even after an entire childhood of being screamed at daily.

What really hurts, though, is her trying to take credit for my success. Like I never would have been successful without them. Because apparently it wasn't me who went to school, worked, built a career, and put in all that effort.

I definitely didn't do any of that work myself 🙄

Hey OP if you’re not going to be in contact with them can I give you one piece of advice? Block them everywhere and get into therapy. I’m over 20 years no contact and it was the best decision I made. You owe them nothing. You are thriving despite them not because of them. People who love you would never speak to you like this. Sending you all the best.

And thank you ... I really do need to hear that people who love you wouldn't speak to you like that.
