I get not wanting to deal with a bad parent, I disowned my own. he was the source of my trauma. as yours is. but I confronted him about it when I did so. I spoke my piece. I think you need to at least deal with your feelings of anger and let go to fully let go of your mother. my father doesn't trigger me anymore. you need to get to that point with your mom.

I have confronted her so many times and she just doesn't get it. She has never once said sorry to anyone in her life. I have been blamed for everything that happened, like my parents almost divorcing, my sister acting out, etc. when I talk to her it's like a deer in headlights. I did end up not talking to them for three years a few years ago but felt bad for my dad, and my sister was stuck in the middle, so I gave in and now I'm back to where I was.
