Hey Mickey, I've been meaning to ask you this, and since someone already accused me of asking invasive questions, may I ask what your angle on these forums is? I've never seen you talk about yourself.

I can tell you if this was my thread and you said "other people *may* not feel the same way towards theirs I *suppose*" I would get angry. I know you don't intend that to be invalidating, however there are so few places people can tell the truth about abusive mothers. I would find it more helpful if you would just listen if you couldn't relate.We know most people adore their mothers. Unfortunately we who have abusive mothers are in the minority and we need a safe space where we can speak our truth without question. That's why I rarely talk about my history.
