Long story but have a strained relationship with my mum. I was abused by a member of her family when I was a young teen and it destroyed our relationship for various reasons. When I left home I had limited contact with her and have since got married and had 2 DC with not much contact with her. She has never made an effort. Recently she started making an effort and asking about children etc. Decided to make a huge effort too and DC have loved getting to know her this last year. Now she’s gone all quiet again and not responding to contact. Have I been a complete idiot in letting her into my life again?! Should I just go NC? Feel really stupid!

Is she still in contact with that family member? How long has she been quiet for? If it's been a week, then I'd wait for her to get back in touch and ask for an explanation, then I'd decide what to do next.

She is not in contact with him as he divorced my aunt and is no longer around x

I think YANBU whatever you choose to do as she has put that ball in your court.

I would ask her if she's ok as she seems to have stopped making an effort. You've nothing to lose by asking tbh.
