Did you ever cut off a TOXIC. Parent?

Completely?

My mother has been the single most toxic abhorrent thing in my life since I was one year old. The degrading abuse began in toddler years and went every day of my life there on…bullying me, mocking, threats and occasional physical assault. I have PTSD as an adult from decades of psychological torture.
Unfortunately I am living with her now and she’s still as obnoxious, demonic and EXPLOSIVE as ever. She just threw something near me because I simply asked her a question ….that makes me so anxious as you think she’s holding something that could really hurt you.
Years ago she said with a pan in her hand, up in the air, *If you don’t get out I don’t know what I’ll do with this*. It made me ON EDGE. All the time after that. I am trying to find work but with chronic PTSD it’s very hard. I need to cut her from my life for good. It’s awful being even in the same room… she’s vile, manipulative, rageful and plain EVIL. She once told my sister who is very ill with severe degenerative diseases and she said she wanted to die, *You don’t have the guts to kill yourself* 🙁Have you ever cut off a parent completely , and how did it feel or go?

Yes my adoptive mother. I cut her off in April 2021. Best thing I ever did.

@Sapio And did you feel guilty or feel free?

@Baybreeze I felt free. I still do.

@Sapio I know my "mom" will make me feel guilty if I completely cut her off .. she already does over minor crap. She'll say " maybe I should DIE, " if you even say she doesn't need repeat something five times. Or ' ohhhh never listen to your MOTHER' if you even think of disagree with her. I'm glad you feel free🍀

@Baybreeze maybe try setting some boundaries with her. Don't cut her off if it doesn't feel right.
