Amen to that! I cut my abusive mother off in 2015 because the final straw was being subjected to her MAGA bigotry. The only regret I have is I should have cut her off sooner like the family LPCs advised me to do when I sought professional help navigating her constant mistreatment.

Well to your credit you tried to hold out. You were ready to walk away when you were ready to and that’s a good thing. Earlier and you might have been plagued with doubt and gone back ❤️

True! 😂 But my LPC is an absolute gem of a human and he helped me garner the strength I needed to make such a decision. I joke with him all the time that I didn’t have “Saved by an immigrant Muslim man who believes in arranged marriages” on my life bingo card, but here we are!

Help from the most unlikely of sources is kind of an added bonus really! I’m super glad you found the right person for that job. You aren’t the one who is broken-your Mom was and you saved YOURSELF. Most people don’t have Norman Rockwell families, you’re not alone by a long chalk.
