Wow B2C, I think it’s great that you had the courage to tell your mother you weren’t going.
Was cutting a way of punishing yourself for standing up to her? Or was it a way of handling your guilt? Either way, don’t be too hard on yourself. It’s hard to say no; it takes practice.
Are you able to focus on the relief you feel at not having to go? Are you able to feel a little bit proud of your strength in being able to say no?
I’m sorry you’re hurting. I hope you start to feel better soon and that you start to feel the benefits of standing up for yourself.
