@intelligentBeechwood788 I am sorry that you have suffered from abuse. NO one should have to suffer through that.
Setting boundaries is important for survivors of abuse. One thing one can do is do things that will keep you safe but also keep the lines of communication open unless your therapist tells you you need to disconnect completely.
I might send a card with a note but avoid telephone and face to face contact if it was too triggering for me.
