Dear Amy: I wish to go “no contact” with my mother.
She is a narcissist who does everything in her power to gaslight, avoid blame, and will never acknowledge her behavior as anything other than “joking.”I have worked with a few therapists over the years who have helped me to protect myself from her abuse and understand where it’s coming from.The only reason I haven’t gone no contact yet is because the rest of my family are wonderful people.
This would be the natural and fervent wish of any person in your situation, but the next thing for you to work on would be to develop a strategy for cutting ties completely, or, if possible, train yourself not to care.
