Hiya! I am going to try to sum this up in as few words as possible - I have had a TERRIBLE relationship with my Mother. Growing up she was very abusive and selfish with me and my sister. I had my first baby 4 months ago and while I was pregnant I cut off all contact with her because the memories were too painful.
She called me a while ago and we had it out on the phone. I got a very meager apology but was also told to 'get over it'.
The thing is, I miss her. I cant decide if I should allow her in my life. It seems the only reason to not talk to her is to punish her, and I am not sure thats the right thing to do.
My sister doesnt speak to her at all, after the way my Mum behaved while my nephew was dying of cancer.
I dont know what to do. I want to phone her but I feel like in doing so I am saying that how she behaved was acceptable.
Advice please, thanks for reading this.
Merry Christmas xxx
