The title says it all really.
Has anybody done this ?
I was emotionally and physically abused (on occasion) as a child.
I've remained close to my mum as an adult apart from a few outbursts but this is more because I didn't acknowledge or realise the seriousness of everything until I had a mental breakdown and was diagnosed with a few mental health issues.
I keep having waves of intense anger and guilt and tearful episodes. This happens sometimes when I remember certain things . It's like flashbacks and they make me feel very uncomfortable.
I think I could have some unresolved issues around it and I have read up about trauma bonding. Maybe it's this .
Has anyone ever forgiven their parent or rebuilt a relationship?
Sometimes I want to go NC but it scares me.
Thanks
