Youtuber Sheila talks about her experience of NC with her mom. Have not watched this yet but I like the videos of hers that I have watched. She has an interesting style.

 • What it's really like to go no contact with a parent—without the sugarcoating
 • The moment I realized she wasn't just a bad mom, she was never going to change
 • Why walking away isn't the end of the story (because, surprise, they still live in your head)
 • The heavy, messy aftermath no one talks about—grief, guilt, second-guessing, and what it actually takes to heal
 • The biggest lesson I had to learn the hard way (and what I'd tell anyone in this situation)

Finally watched this the other day, and it is heartbreaking and yet inspiring. Her story has themes that will be familiar for many of us.

Sheila found out her mom died in 2022. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOwF0SmR9EA

I really liked how she described her reactions. I hope this is helpful for those of us in NC who worry about what we'll do/how we'll feel if/when they get sick/die.
