She didn't show up. Fortunately. For her.

She used to follow me everywhere. I wasn't allowed friends or even to go outside to get the mail. It was very bad Kat. She pulled me out of school in the 4th grade after scaring the crap out of me since I was a kid who liked school but I was scared some man would hurt me because she told me they would. I was a frighten kid scared of everything because she would tell me things. I realized now she is severely mentally ill.
She followed me even to youth meetings at church. No one would talk to me. At 17 I started staying weekends with my youth pastors but even that had issues. They were fanatics and I was easy prey.
The only place she couldn't follow me was the internet. Now she is on Facebook but back then she thought the internet evil. I met my husband on the internet and he whisk me away from all of that abuse. Now I'm back here and stuck.
Now the only way to stay away is to stay in the apartment or keep my mouth shut if hubby and I go somewhere. She still asks all the inappropriate questions, still tries to interrogate me. I do not live on ground floor and she can't climb steps. There was a huge reason we did that. I love my mom but I want to love her from a very far distance.
