I do not think the side effects of abuse ever truly fade away, I was more so referring to letting the communication and ties fade away. After enough time has passed the abuser has no way to know what you are doing and it reduces the space they take up in your mind via lack of new info. I still feel panic when I hear a garage door open and when I wake up so I relate to you but it is just something we have to manage unfortunately. I just suggest assigning blame where it is due rather than blaming ourselves because having this much trauma from moms impacts a very low percentage of the population and is is truly their fault for acting so far outside of the normal human experience
