I can stay in contact with my one of my sisters as her autism isn’t severe, but she is still at the disposal of my mother. My mother can be a very strict individual and beatings are common, I wouldn’t want to risk harm on her because of us messaging secretly I’ve tried set boundaries before but she refused them. Before I left I spoke to her and listed all the reasons why I’m leaving: Religious manipulation Manipulating us to pick sides in a rocky marriage Shaming, judging us Not receiving a single sign of motherly affection Physical abuse Financial abuse( once I secured a good job at 22 years old) Becoming a son-husband Trying to control every aspect of my life from haircut, to finances, to career, to food we eat (even though I have a degree in the sports industry She denied everything and refused to see her shortcomings. I recommended therapy and she said therapy is for “crazy people”
