I have nothing left to lose---but my unhappiness and stress, etc.
I don't think I'll bother posting the thoughtful email I had sent to her and her ridiculous, hurtful email response to me that prompted this:
NOTE: I have spent my entire adult life trying to bring communication, truth, forgiveness, and healing to my family. That's too long. No one has ever met me halfway. I'm expendable to them, you see. And now that my girls are in college, I can finally fully tell it like it is and set myself FREE.
ENOUGH!!!
NO MORE OF YOUR SICK AND TWISTED PATRONIZING CONDESCENDING BULLSHIT!!!
YOU WERE, ARE, AND ALWAYS WILL BE A HORRIBLE, ABUSIVE, NEGLECTFUL MOTHER TO ME!!!
AND YOU ARE THE REASON MY RELATIVES TURNED THEIR BACKS ON ME!!!
YOU TAUGHT EVERYONE LIES ABOUT ME TO MAKE YOURSELF LOOK GOOD!!!
YOU AND DAD ARE THE REASON I DEVELOPED BPD AND ACTED-OUT!!!
YOUR NARCISSISM AND BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER HAS TORMENTED ME MY ENTIRE LIFE!!!
YOU HAVE NEVER LIKED ME OR LOVED ME!!!
YOU HAVE NEVER "SEEN" ME OR "HEARD" ME!!!
YOU HAVE NEVER EVER CARED ABOUT MY FEELINGS, THOUGHTS, OR ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED TO ME!!!
YOU HAVE NEVER VALUED ME OR RESPECTED ME AS A PERSON!!!
YOU HAVE NEVER CARED ABOUT MY CHRONIC ILLNESS!!!
YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN THERE FOR ME WHEN I NEEDED YOU!!!
