So I struggle a lot with letting go I've been through a lot and honestly I should be able to cut toxic people out of my life so why can't I frigging do it my mum has hurt me again and again but I can't seem to cut her off completely
Why is it so hard to let go of someone who puts me through hell
In response to: When will it be ok to say enough is enough

@Former-Member without going into it I can relate to this so much especially with my mum too.
It is hard to let go of some people, especially when they are family and are meant to help not hinder you.
I understand hun and am listening.
Love and hugs
