“Setting boundaries with my mother”

My mother was abusive and controlling, making me feel guilty and responsible for my brothers' failures

"Setting clear boundaries would have saved me from emotional distress"
If I could tell you one thing
"Prioritize self-care and seek support when dealing with toxic family relationships"
