I’ve never been one to wish hurt or harm on others because I wouldn’t want someone wishing it on me. Every day I do my best to exercise kindness and extend grace whenever possible, however much like anything that can be measured on a scale, there’s a limit.
From childhood into adulthood I’ve suffered mental, emotional, physical and verbal abuse at the hands of the woman who birthed me and through that time, I was told to “forgive her” because she’s also traumatised. I was constantly told, “that’s your mother” in response to openly sharing I hate her because of the pain she caused me. And every time, I was gaslit into believing I was wrong for feeling the way I do and that because she’s “family” it’s no big deal.
Her giving me life doesn’t give her the right to be abusive nor does it give her the right to make mine hell because she’s also traumatised. Trauma being understandable doesn’t make mistreatment of others acceptable and you have me several shades of fucked up if you think I’m going to continue tolerating her abuse.
Even with me being in therapy and support workshops, utilising coping mechanisms when I feel overwhelmed and establishing boundaries, there’s no way we could have a parent-child relationship. She’s not going to change and with me trying I better myself that would only hinder my growth. Every day she makes it a point to trigger me and I’m done giving her grace and being understanding.
From the bottom of my heart I hate this woman and I truly hope she dies. She’s not my mother and never will be. Even if she decided to get her shit together no part of me wants to rekindle and maintain a relationship just because of how badly she traumatised me.
Family are supposed to love and support you. Challenge you in productive ways and protect you. They’re supposed to hold you accountable in situations of fault and educate you to be better. Families are supposed to be a support system and safe place but all of my relatives, starting with the woman who birthed me, are from it.
If me wishing death on them is wrong, so be it. Two wrongs don’t make a right but I’m tired of being told to “forgive and forget”, bypass it or not hold them accountable for their shitty behaviour.
Uhh... Can you correlate your problem with something or explain it in better way
