Living my own life finally, with fear

...See more Hello, all. New to this forum. Recently 50. Realized that I have been lied to and deceived for years, first by narcissistic husband and then mother. It has taken me time to fully accept that's how she is and learn to let go some. Now, however, she needs some care. She could have someone come in a couple days a week, but she expects me to give up my life to care for her. I am going back to school to get a graduate degree that will help me actually enjoy the later years of my life. I haven't told her yet. I don't think I will as she will not be happy for me but instead will see it as a threat and as a slap in the face. I am preparing for being cut out of her life completely when I finally do this. It has taken me a long time to be OK with the idea of that. I grieve the time and life lost dealing with the deception and lies and then realizing and coming to terms with the truth. I wonder if anyone else has experienced something similar. Peace, Tara
