From when I was 6 up until I was taken into the foster system at 16 my mother abused me emotionally, verbally, and physically. She traumatized me and left me with PTSD and severely stunted social skills. She ruined my life.
Now, three years later, i'm 19, I wrote a letter to her to see how she's doing, tell her how I'm doing, answer questions, etc.
Yesterday she called me and sounded like a completely different person. She just called and acted as if nothing happened, as if we had just talked the day before! She just rambled on about her day, whats on tv, etc. as if nothing happened. She wants to "forget the past" and says we "need" to get along.
I'm confused and taken aback. I've always resented her for years and convinced myself I hated her, but when she called, for some reason I was happy to hear from her.
I don't know how to react, what to do, how to feel. She wants to meet up but my boyfriend is very weary of her because he knows what she's put me through.
What should I do?
