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 :) ... View more
