My Horrid Parent

Hello all, really glad to see this forum.  My mother basically abused me for 56 years..and when she couldn't do it physically, she did it verbally with emotional jabs.  It continued until two years ago when I went no contact, and refused to attend a family reunion in which her birthday was going to be honored.  My relatives all disowned me.  Whatever...I am breathing easier being away from them all!
