with everything really.
Have recently come to the conclusion that my mother is toxic - I always said she wasn't but then she denied a few things that happened and said I was lying... a classic toxic parent thing to do.
I now feel unable to talk to her, though in many ways I'm still reliant on her. I don't want my child to feel like I do, I want my child to be free (like I wish I was) and be happy with family, not duty bound to them.
My religion drives a lot of the problems, and I haven't put my son through that, but I find it hard to break free myself.
I also find it hard to talk to people in RL. I am used to being told what to say, I don't know what to do to start making friends - Have tried but the people I've met dont' want to be friends with me. I am not sure what I am doing wrong.
