I passed my OWN test...did I really move on?

Hey Ladies I'm so proud of myself I wanted to post this up for everyone to see. Someone may even relate.
After 2 years of not speaking or seeing each other I saw my mother yesterday and she saw my newborn and 3 yo for the first time. My mother and I didn't always have the best relationship and it ended altogether 2 years ago when on my sons first birthday she choked me while I had my son in my arms called me an ungrateful bitch, a statistic, and said she would "fuckin' kill me with my son in my arms"...Harsh hun?? Yea
After a year of hating her and a year of avoiding her I finally was truly over the whole situation. I'm not bitter and pissed off anymore. I have a family and no longer let this woman have so much power over me by me hating her. We were in the same room together after 2 years and instead of wanting to slit her throat I smiled and guinunely didn't care about what had happen or her. We were adults and I couldn't be more proud of myself. (my older sister was proud of me too!
My test was I said that I moved on from our incident but anyone can say anything but being in my Aunts house with her and being civil I guniunely WAS! Thanks for listening Ladies :)

 Good for you! Much better to be civil and for her to not have the power to hurt you any more.

Good! I probably wouldn't allow my kids in front of her if I were you. But glad you moved forward

Thanks! Yea she's a piece of work she wanted me to sign over custody of my son when he was younger. But they'll know her but I'm their mother not her :)

It's nice that you were able to put aside that frustration, hurt, anger & hate and move past it.  Good job! :)

Its hard when the child has to be the adult in a mom-child relationship. My husband is that with his mom.

Great job, though! You definitely have a right to be proud of yourself.

It was a true test see wasn't a great mom hell I could write a book about my life and it would definitely be a good read. It was tough at first but I overcame it. Thanks!! :)

Wow you should be proud! How does it feel?

Pretty Damn good like a chip is finally off my shoulders. Because of our relationship (my mom and I) I had to always avoid my family and family gatherings. My boys are getting older and it's not fair to them because she's crazy.
