...if this will come back to bite me in the ass.
I'm trying to keep my mother out of my life. Not entirely no contact, but as close as I can manage without drawing suspicion. Basic reason? Nobody needs a toxic narcissist in their life. Especially when distancing yourself from them helps the healing.
But my new situation of trying to generate a social media presence to help sell The Ones Left Behind has created an issue. I didn't share my social media with family at first. But my niece wanted to know. Then my other niece found out through her. And my brother from them. And eventually, the person who is the reason 'mother' is a bad word to me found and followed my Instagram. I allowed it because I don't post often there. But today she followed me on Threads. I wrestled with the decision for a bit before finally blocking her. Supposedly she shouldn't find out.
It's just, I'm pretty active there, and don't want that toxicity infesting my Threads community. I know it's not wrong of me to look after myself. But it still feels kind of wrong.
