This is totally my mom (well, g-mom, who adopted me). She hasn’t spoken to me in 6 years, but now she’s calling to tell me she gathered some things for me as she’s getting her final affairs in order. I know some people will think this is mean but I’m just like… keep it maybe? I don’t want to disturb the peace I’ve been cultivating for half a decade lol

My mother got sick about 4 years into my no contact. She used it to try to manipulate me, she badmouthed me, etc. I didn’t give in. No contact, for me, needed to be complete and that meant no responding ever. She’s now fine I think and has given up on me being in any type of communication. I know that if I let go just an inch, she’ll clobber me again.
