The world became a better place the day that bitch died.

Mine with mom is complicated. She's the biggest source of my trauma and cptsd growing up. But for the last 2 years she has changed alot and she started to seeing me for who I am. I'm very glad we get to reconcile while both of us are still alive and healthy, but gosh we wasted so many days, and I'm talking about 20 something years of me being abused by her and my dad. I forgive both of them, but the damages can't be undo.

I know it's better late than never, but I kept wondering if I'd be capable of happy had she realized sooner and not abused me? I know she's gonna blame herself if I ctb so I'm waiting for her to pass first. She does worried about my mental state and tries her best to keep me alive, such as financially support me and not put any pressure on my life. My dad is insignificant, he's just physically there and nothing more.

I'm curious how is your relationship with your parents?

My mom is bipolar and used to be insane and pretty abusive to my dad (not to us kids though). She's since attemped suicide and got on antipsychotics. She's super chill now and we (mostly my dad) take care of her since she cannot work. Overall my relationship with her is pretty good.
