Update: She sent me a letter and I opened it with the intention of throwing it out if it started going downhill but it was just a crammed 2 page card talking about how she learnt to mend dresses so she's moved on. But I have decided that I am truly shedding myself of her. I am sending her a letter to remind her she has another daughter (cos my sister feels kinda hurt) and not to send correspondence to me, and then I am done. A controlled burn. That way my wound is clean and I can work on healing.

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.
