It was the right thing to do, but it ended up being really hard on her and my mom, mentally.

My sister doesn't talk to me anymore.

The last time we spoke, she said that talking to me reminds her of our family.

I completely understand, but it still hurts.

I was the only one in our immediate family she talked to since going to live with her dad.

Yeah, that's the sense that I'm getting.

There's a lot of angles.

Because he said her dad, right?

So that must be a different father.

Even after everything, I still want to have some kind of relationship with my mom.

She's disappeared and won't tell me where she is, but she's still my mom.

And part of me can't let that go.

She left just before Christmas last year.

I also want to find a way to reconnect with my sister someday or at least make peace with how things are.

Is it even possible or healthy to have any kind of relationship with a parent who caused so much pain, but clearly has mental health struggles?

How might I start rebuilding trust and communication with my sister?

How do I find confidence again, meeting people, making friends, and learning to live a normal life after growing up like this?

Signed, reconnecting with my progenitor after this emotional divestiture, which required a significant expenditure, and sent her into another hemisphere.

bruh yeah this is a rough one there's something so vulnerable and like earnest about this guy just the way he laid it all out man the longing to have a mother figure in one's life is so profound and it's so moving to hear about it everyone needs it man everyone deserves it but not possible for anyone sadly with some of their biological parents anyway sadly no i mean his mom is i don't even know what this woman is i mean i'm aggressively flipping through the dsm

Yeah.
