that is unbelievably cruel.
my mother used to carry a school photograph of me, aged thirteen. if she had to introduce me to anyone she would show them the photo as well and say 'this is before she started to let me down'. thanks, mum.
i have been no-contact with her for almost six years and it is one of the healthiest actions i have ever taken.
don't let someone drag you down like that - you're worth so much more.
