Opinions?

I think a lot of people who find and choose to participate in this site go through a similar process. The process in which you realize you can’t possibly reasonably reply to every post. Either you don’t have the time, you don’t know what to say, or the post just didn’t capture your attention enough for whatever reason. Felt like I had to add that last one in for the sake of honesty. Some of us might wish we could have more words of wisdom or comfort, or more snarky-ass remarks or darkly humorous wit at questionable times, but hey, we can’t be everywhere at once with something meaningful to say. Not to mention I can’t help but damn near write an essay every time I type a comment, which takes up time, but eh, that’s me. My point is… trust me, most of us know the feeling.

As for your mom.. this is something you’re much more qualified to be making decisions about than the rest of us. But obviously you’re asking for an opinion based on what you’ve revealed through posts.

I suppose it seems inevitable, doesn’t it? Cutting out the toxic people from your life can be one of the most liberating things after the initial shock and possible guilt (whether deserved or not) wears off. Hmm, it just hit me that I’m on a suicide site talking trash about someones mother.

Do what you feel you have to. It seems to me that it’ll happen eventually regardless, so it could be best to get it over with. It won’t be easy, but neither will carrying on a relationship that is likely doomed and unhealthy simply for the sake of family ties.

Also, someone could point out that this logic works for suicide as well. The difference in this situation is… you’ll be alive to reap the benefits, and possibly be happier in the long run. A weird way to end this reply, buy hey, I guess that’s my style.
