I think you did the right thing for you and your family. You broke the toxic cycle. You should be proud of yourself for being a mother first.
@frazzledfemale my mother faked cancers everytime she got caught in a lie or wanted something she couldn’t get. Sometimes she would fake a heart attack or a fever if you’re having a good day and she wasn’t. Borderline Personality and Narcissistic parents do this frequently. This is emotional abuse. It happens way too much
