Dear Cali Chica:

Your mother will say anything that will suit her at any one moment, suit her goal to have power over another, that is: she will contradict what she said earlier, talk as if things that happened didn’t happen and as if things that didn’t happen, happened. She will talk kindly about people she hated earlier, and hatefully about people she talked kindly about earlier. She will accuse others for suffering the consequences of her abusing them, presenting the origin of a problem as the consequence, and the consequence as the origin. And so forth.

She has no concern for the truth. Her only concern is to have power over another.

Your post reads incredibly wise, you are thinking and doing so well. You wrote: “My focus right now is for the dust to settle”. It is the right thing for you to do, the wise thing. Your thoughts, your resolutions are excellent.
