I opened up to my mom today about how I feel towards my dad. I used the song "Let You Down" by NF to do so. Slowly, I'm trying to trust and open up more to her. After the song was done, she hugged me and told me she was sorry that she doesn't step in to keep my dad of my back. I told her it was okay and that I didn't blame her for that.
(Possibly triggering)
Possible trigger:
Anyway, she told me she loved me and she wants to have a talk with my dad. I told her not to but she seems dead set on it. I just don't want it to make things worse, you know? Regardless, I'm glad her and I have a real relationship now and have worked through all of the past's crap. The fact that I can open up to her about things now is something I never knew I needed. I know not everyone has that opportunity, so I don't want to take it for granted. Just thought I'd share that. I'm starting trauma therapy in two or three weeks, and I'm nervous but I'm ready to put the past in the past.

I am so glad you could talk with your mom. It seems like a start in the right direction, toward healing. I do hope you find healing.

 It's good you can tell your mom how you feel. Your mom cannot manage the relationship between you and your dad but if she tries--this is on her--you are not responsible for your parent's relationship. Good luck with your therapy. Hugs.

Thanks everyone.
My parents aren't together, they haven't been since I was in elementary school. She might've talked to him this morning because my dad wanted us to talk, he said he just wanted to know about me and what I've been up to. It might not last, but it was a nice break from the usual lectures. I really do appreciate all of the support I've received here. I never would've been able to get to this point without PC. All of you have helped me through things I still haven't expressed anywhere else, so thank you for being a part of this online sanctuary.
