Hi all,

So cutting a long story short - and some of you may remember, a toxic relationship with my mum. It was filled with narcissistic traits I know realise but yet I found myself depending on her, just to ring her to and make sure she was ok. I tried to get acceptance and would then be upset when she would make excuses to put the phone down and promise to ring me back and then wouldn't.

Anyway...

I made a pledge.
Not to ring or FaceTime her
If she rings me I will call back once and that's it
I'll text her if I've got a question etc

And I haven't for a month. I've been tempted. My finger has even hovered over her phone number but I haven't done it. She's rang me but it's a catch up call that's all.

I feel better, a million times better. We concentrate on our family and what we want and not worrying about anything else or my neediness

Sorry I just had to share for the people who have helped me in the past on here. Apart from building my business and my children, this is one thing I'm so proud of. Out of a vicious circle for sure

Thankyou everyone
