Dear Dinah,
I'm sorry you have struggled so. :o(
I wish for you - you see that it's not that you weren't worth portecting but that your mother didn't have it in her to do so. that its NOT you -- its' her.
After certain abuse(went through several different situations) I recall trying to talk to my mother and being "pushed away" -so to speak. Though, in my case, my mother also abused me and.... her daycare kids-- horrific physical abuse... so by the time I was about 7 years old, I knew she was NOT a safe place to run to. To this day she is NEVER in the wrong.... so I don't confront her about any past things anymore. (I know *I* will be the wrong one, time and time again-- she will tell me I'm wrong) I could never go on a vacation with my mother-- I commend you for that and hope all goes well with it.
I have been working on my own inner self. Trying to convince myself that I was, and am, worth being here-- no matter what my past is telling me.
I wish you the best in your homework and therapy.
