Thanks.

I'm in the process of it. This only happened about two years ago and I'm finally in a place where I can get help without her interfering. I don't know why, but not long after it happened and I stopped seeing her completely, part of my brain shut off for months and I couldn't remember any time I had spent with her at all and that was okay with me. It was like, I knew bad stuff was there, but my brain was like 'nope. you don't need to see that.' and kept the door shut.

I don't really think I'm that strong, though. I freaked out and started crying when I saw she had looked me up on Linkedin and so many people had endorsed her for all sorts of qualities that she never had around her children. CPS was finally called two weeks ago on her when her new husband physically abused one of my little sisters. Hopefully they'll actually take this case seriously and not do a bunch of bureaucratic bull crap.
