I decided it was time I called my mother.

Backstory: She abandoned me at birth and I met her 4 months ago and haven't spoken to her since because she triggered my PTSD hardcore and I have only just gotten the courage to call her.

She told me that she accepts me but doesn't accept any part of my life or who I am (In 10 yrs I'll look back and realise that I was being stupid by not being straight, cis, or mono). Told me that she is too old to do anything now and it's because of me. Told me that I should trust people because it is that easy to let it go and get over it and that I am being a horrible daughter by not being in touch with her more.

She asked me how she could be a good mother and I told her that she could listen and take on board what I was saying and then invalidated everything by telling me to get angry and yell at her because it was obviously what I needed, because I have so much going on in my life that I need someone to be angry at.

BLAAAARRRGH

I don't know what to do because I got NO closure out of that.
She apologised for abandoning me but doesn't know what I'm going on about with everything else she did wrong and I'm pretty sure she won't leave me alone.

Things to keep in mind when interacting with me:
1. Do not try to medicate me. I am not on medication for a very good reason.
2. I don't do hugs.
3. If I ask for help, it is because I am at the breaking point, otherwise I have a bad habit of keeping quiet. Please do not brush me off.
