Deciding to cut contact from my Mum wasn’t an easy decision and definitely not one I’d taken lightly.
For me, as for most people, it took an exchange so toxic, so far outside the boundaries of what’s acceptable, that something snapped inside me. I was done with her.
This isn’t a decision I woke up and decided to do one day.
It’s taken 15 years and is long overdue.
I have found that trying to ‘make’ anyone think, believe, understand, or do anything is absolutely pointless.
You aren’t obligated to worry about the opinion of anyone, because it’s none of their business. You don’t have to get anyone else’s approval to set the boundaries you need to be healthy.
I hope this episode helps you to understand what is right for you.
