I did blame mum. Because she did do the wrong thing

I'm not too sure how to start this but for as long as I can remember 12-16 years maybe.. me and my sister have been the ones to witness my mother and her horrible choice in partners.

its been a few years since she was with a very toxic person that ruined everything for my mother but also for me and my sister.

After seeing my mum get physically and emotionally abused it sent me into a very lonely and sad place because I have always felt like if I were to tell someone that wouldn't be okay so I have kept it to myself for so many years. I hit breaking point and it all came back and hurt more than ever. Which was hard but I have never been one to make other feel like they are reasonable for my own personal problems.

I have always been one to help others which point my own mental health into a serious spiral down hill which has been difficult to deal with but I have done it.

i wish my mother didn't keep going back to such a toxic person because me and my sister are now struggling with flashbacks. I wish she knew

I wish she knew because now I don't want to say anything because she just get angry at me..

Wow, what a very difficult & scary situation for the 3 of you to be in. Makes me angry being on the sidelines. Abuse makes me angry full stop. Sounds like she's trapped in the cycle and something keeps her there. I wish I knew how to change this for all of you. I'd suggest a psychologist for the PTSD for you and your sister and the police for your mum, she might not want that but its not fair to live in fear. I know I've done it and I didn't walk away straight away, it took me a while to accept it was all happening.

Its shocking. Why are ppl still doing this. Domestic violence is a criminal offence and not to be taken lightly.

Sorry you've been so affected by this, I was also. Hopefully your mum one day wants out and with the support of professionals you can all put the pieces back together.
