The process you went through to get to this decision was difficult to say the least. It's never easy to let go of people who create a toxic relationship or who refuse to own up to their part in your pain. (for whatever reason)
In order to move on.....to face what needs facing....to heal, one must take stock of the relationship and decide should it stay or should it go. I'm sure you have done everything within your power to help make the relationship work. It's when we get to that point and see that there is nothing more we can do and still keep any semblance of "self" that we can let go and move forward.
I'm so glad you have been able to work to a point where you feel comfortable in your decisions about your mum. You deserve to have healthy and positive relationships.....and I wish you all the best my friend. Time and your positive attitude will definitely be on your side
