Have any of you had a toxic relationship with your mom, but put your feelings aside and form a relationship with her?

After years of abuse, years of silence and minimal interaction, I started to form a relationship with my mom.

For the longest time I felt sick being near her. I never told her anything and frankly I’ve always kept things to myself, internalized.

Now I am starting to forget that she existed. Someone so abusive turned sweet. I wouldn’t go as far as saying she was a recovered narcissists but it might as well be exactly that.

Are you truly able to move on? How close are you with your mom? Did she every explain why she did that to you specifically and no one else?
