Thanks.So I know I'm not alone.That already feels good.Not one of my friends can ever understand this.They all have such loving Moms. Anyway, theraphy and counselling is not available cos I live in a thirid world country.There are psychologist but they treat severe mental disorders.My kindest friends have askedme to just put it aside and forgive her and to go back to her.No one understands.I have read books and Dave Pelzer 'The It Boy" is good as again I know I'm not alone. Can you suggest the closest to do for theraphy ?

I think you need to think of yourself. Take care of and do what is best for you.

Have you sought the help of a therapist? I never thought I would talk to a therapist but I finally did about 4 months ago and it is helping me a lot. Still lots of work to do though.

Take care of yourself.
