Hi everyone,
I am a mum to a baby girl and I am now meeting more and more other mums.
About 6 years ago I stopped all contact with my own parents and sister due to reasons I won't discuss here. However, it is always awkward - especially around Christmas time - when new friends and aquaintances ask about my parents or family.
I would love to seeif there are mums with the same experience here and just exchange strategies and chat about how they are dealing with it.
Anyone who has the same or similar expereince?

But I would be curious if there are any other parents in a similar situation and I would love to get in touch and exchange thoughts and just to see if there are others out there with the same situation?
I feel that this is a topic that is not talked about anywhere. So I am looking for others out there who know what I mean.

I have no contact and yes it gets awkward but I learned to live with it, hope it will get easier for you too

Hi Loretta
I am newly no contact with my Mum as she's very manipulative and narcissistic. I have 4.5 year old twins (first and only children) and I suffer from mental health issues which have been a long term issue and I'm still navigating medication etc but having her in our lives was proving detrimental to my mental health as well as my relationship with our children and my husband. It's been roughly 6 months and sometimes it's hard but I know I need to find treatment that works, whatever that may be, and get myself in the right headspace before I can consider letting her back into our lives. I know she will bring it all up and how horrible a person I've always been to her, but I can't handle that right now. Who knows. Even if I do get better, I may not even allow her to have contact with us.
I am more than happy to answer any questions you have
Congratulations on your little one
