u/Background-Task-2166

I (32f) have recently cut my only family member off - my mother (58f). Today is the day I’m dropping off her key and some books I’d borrowed.

Today is also the day that the doctor has diagnosed me with CPTSD. Because of the abuse my mother has put me through.

My question is, how do you accept the fact you’ve been abused your entire life? How do you accept that the person who was meant to love you has caused you pain akin to living in a conflict zone? I don’t know how to. I make a lot of excuses for her and I have the weight of at least 3 generations of mother-daughter trauma on my shoulders.

Any advice is welcome.

TIA.
