There’s a million reasons to hate on her, but having a shitty ancestor isn’t one of them. I have awful parents and I’d hate to be judged based on their actions.

This was Jamie Hyneman, and Adam Savage’s robot (of MythBusters fame). It was given the championship 2 seperate years in exchange for not competing anymore, as you said, because it was too dangerous and flinging robot parts over the arena walls.

Your mum sounds like mine. I went no contact and it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I gave her so many chances for the sake of family, but ultimately, you should keep those that love you in your life and cut out anyone else.

It sounds like she falls under the anyone else category, but that’s your call to make.

You deserve love, compassion, and respect. If you don’t feel like she’s giving these thing to you, then she serves no purpose in your life.

Learn from my mistake, don’t keep giving her chances, don’t allow her to make you feel bad just because she’s family. Leave and never look back

I might remind you that something doesn’t have to effect you to complain about it, it’s called empathy

Nothing has to be “wrong” for depression to kick in. It obviously doesn’t help when things are tough, but sometimes your brain chemistry just is what it is. Life is fine* my brain is not.
