Toxic Parents

[Dreamer]

Click THIS LINK, then maybe you could relate, or (at least) know a fraction of what I've gone through my entire life.

My mother is a narcissistic alcoholic... way too much to deal with. She may be undiagnosed with some sort of personality disorder also... I don't know.

What I do know is that I've recently turned 24 years old, and I can't enable her craziness anymore, as it's been (and continues to be) very toxic to my growth and well-being.

Of course, I can't blame her for my personal decisions and downfalls in life, but (at the same time) I also can't deny that her mentality, manipulation, mental abuse, etc... hasn't contributed to at least some of my failures in life either..

I'm finally going to school to get my GED, despite many failed attempts, broken mentality, and failures to overcome the social anxiety, agoraphobia, etc.. that can come from living with a "toxic parent".

I'm moving out for the 3rd time in my life, since living with her, and I'm scared; maybe due to my complacency, and twisted comfort to all I've ever known. I want a better life, and I can't enable her behavior anymore...

Can anyone relate?

Does anyone have any advice to give from personal experience when dealing with such a parent or loved one?

Thanks...
