A thoughtful, heartfelt piece well worth a read. For those of you enmeshed in this toxic relationship dynamic, sometimes this is the only way to some kind of freedom. Either way it costs a great deal of heartache.
A book I read and found useful when doing my own mother issues personal work was this one. Mostly I think it validated my experience which was a crucial first step for me.

Like the writer of the article above I struggled to quantify and qualify my experience because of the confusing tangle of feelings that mother love engenders and the inconsistency of the relationship. Nothing is more powerful or in my opinion has more of a lasting impact on who we ultimately become than our mothers - Good, bad or indifferent!
Hope you find this helpful.
