No, it's no different. I went NC with my mother for about five years straight. She's not an alcoholic, but she ain't right in the head either. I have re-established contact, but those five years gave me time to heal, and the ability to deal with her on a detached level. I'll never have the mother that I want or deserve and as sad as that is, I've come to grips with it and accepted it. It is what it is.
