My extended family finally validated that my mom was an abuser - but why do I care?
My extended family finally said that my mom was a horrible person due to her addiction and that it must have been horrible to have her as a mom. It was good to hear that they finally stopped denying that, but at the same time I thought to myself - why do I care so much?
I'm still angry at them. They were the only adults I used to tell what's going on at home, however, they either completely ignored what I said or told me that I MUST love and listen to my mother anyway. Sometimes even laughed at what I told them. I think they believed every word I said about our mom as they couldn't spend 10 min with her in the same room without getting into a fight themselves, but it was easier for them to pretend that my mom is ok as a mom and to ignore what I'm sayng.
I'm asking myself - why do I care so much what they think now?
