NC 2 years - just got a love bomb from a strange #

Surprise , no surprise, it’s my mother. That word mother is so hard to say sometimes isn’t it 😖😖 I got a love bomb big time today, but one that was packed with a few punches of course, and a side of guilt trip.

How do you all handle when this happens? I’ve been no contact for 2 years and she’s been relatively silent. During that time, there were a few bouts of hatred talk and how horrible we (her whole family that got free) are, but she eventually got the hint that it wouldn’t happen.

It’s almost the holiday time so I imagine this thread will get popular lol.. I’m not surprised she’s reached out.. it’s just right on cue.

I blocked her, but I know there’s that little place in me that longs for a mother and a relationship and I almost fell for it. It’s just so so hard. It’s been 20 years of wishing things would change, and my inner child is like “well maybe this time you should try again and give her a chance, I want a mama” (exceptionally hard since I’m now a mother to a little baby, would love to have the guidance of a mother figure)

So how do you cope with this?
