I get this so much, my mom was really emotionally abusive to me. And in the end, I only found happiness when I left for a better highschool and a better place. My mom died the year I left home. I spent so much time feeling guilty about leaving her alone. But I'm in college now and I've come to realize that I needed to achieve my own happiness. I couldn't do anything about what had happened and I just needed to keep moving forward.

@anon I understand this completely, my mom died not too long after I moved away because I didn't have a future if I kept living with her. I felt guilty for so long about abandoning her. But now I understand that I would have just been more miserable if I had stayed in that house.
