I?ve never posted on here before but I?m having some problems with my mum. I?ve recently suspected her of being emotionally abusive. These are some of the things that have happened and are still going on.
When I was a child I was expected to supply emotional support she very easily becomes upset and offended and I was expected to give comfort.
There were lots of inappropriate conversations about my father emotionally and sexually.
She?s interfered in contact arrangements with my ex who also is abusive and supports him to the extent of phone calls going around for tea and so on.
I?ve been expected to rush around for silly things even to changing a light bulb and when I refused I was blanked for nearly a week.
She?s created rifts between my siblings saying they?ve fallen out with me and me them, even lied about me.
I can?t talk to her about this it didn?t happen, I?ve misunderstood, she was upset and didn?t know what she was saying.
Something private and personal in my marriage happened and now everyone knows even my ex.
She?s plays the little girl and the victim I always feel guilty and anxious having contact with her.
I know what?s happening, I?m waiting to see someone and have ordered the book toxic parents. I don?t want to give up contact and my siblings live far away. Does anyone have any experience of this I need practical ways of dealing with her?
