Reading a thread has prompted me to start this one but it most definitely isn't a TAAT.
My mother pretty much abandoned me. I haven't seen her for nearly thirty years and even at that last slighting there was no interaction. There was contact via paper but nothing else. I ignored her contact. I fully expect to never see her again. My feelings regarding that aren't relevant right here.
This is all I have ever known so I just got on with it as had no choice. I can't get my head around people going no contact with a mother they lived with all their childhoods and had a relationship with. I can understand the reasons but not how you deal with it and how you do it. Even how you dare.
