Patrick Teahan describes three no-contact periods with his mother

What was said

"3 years. Wow. And then I opened up the door and then she, I changed. She hadn't. Of course. More abuse, more stuff."

Patrick Teahan recounts going no contact with his mother for three years in his early 20s because he says ongoing interactions were derailing his therapy and leaving him “triggered… for a week straight”. He says he later resumed contact, cut it off again, and is now in a third “pretty much the final” no-contact period, which he links to protecting his son.
