Comic Strips

After the decades of abuse from my mother, whom I only learned to start breaking away from at 30, and still, just yesterday had a pacing conversation to myself! with her haunting voice, of what I might have to do if faced with ever speaking with her again...

This example is the only kind of response. Even if just to myself.

I didn't know I needed to see something so simple as a comic to help when she dominates my head, and I think I'm gonna cry a bit now. Fuck you, mom. I'm finally learning to enjoy being alive, without you in my life.

It's healthy to cut toxic people out of your life... but another interpretation of this is that she's giving someone "the silent treatment", like a 6-year old.

I can almost taste the deafening sound of silence from the receiving end.

She's actively talking to someone to tell them how good is to not talk to them...

My abusive ex-wife has been trying to contact me recently so I am very much feeling this meme in my soul.
