Daughters of Abusive Mothers Community Group
For those of us whose mothers were (or still are) abusive to us. In a society that puts mothers on a pedestal it can often be lonely dealing with the feelings of hurt, betrayal, anger, emptiness and grief of having an abusive mother. People with loving mothers often find it hard to believe or understand. Here is a safe place to express the feelings and find others with...
My sisters and I suffer from odd health problems and we have come to realize that our mother poisoned us. We didn't realize this until a few years ago. In our thirties, all of us came down with health issues that eventually become disabling. Our biggest obstacle is that we have conditions that are atypical that doctors cannot explain and often just give us the brush off as being from 'stress' despite the fact that we all have some sort of shared symptoms. Now that we are quite sure she poisoned us to either make us sleep or keep us sick, I just wish I knew what she poisoned us with. Then again, the doctors would probably not believe us if we did know.
We are so blessed that she didn't take her dabbling to the extent of really serious hospitalizations but, then again why are we so sick with atypical symptoms that baffle doctors. It just makes me so angry there is nothing we can do, and us victims are again victimized by a society that cannot fathom that she did this to us.
Part of me would just love to be able to ask her, what did you do and get an answer. I just know all it will get us is her playing games with us to serve her twisted needs. I just wish I knew what she used to damage us so my sisters could be treated.

If you haven't already had this done, ask your MD about bloodwork to check for common toxins such as lead, mercury, iron, etc. These are cumulative and will cause long-term problems. Don't even bother talking to your mom. If someone is still in contact with her, they could search her medicine cabinet to see what could have been used. Most other toxins will have cleared your system. If your MD blows off your concerns, don't get frustrated....just say to him/her..."please humor me...I have benefits or I am willing to pay...it is just blood tests!"
My mother gave me her tranquilizers since I was six. When I figured it out, I would pretend to swallow and hide them in my dresser drawer. I have had kidney problems from this. She gave me other pills.."vitamins" which I could never identify.
I am now mostly healthy. Just try to focus on the symptoms that are giving you the most trouble, and don't give up!
