I am deeply sorry that your mother and others in your family are incapable of being normal, loving human beings. It is tragic. I think it is a miracle though that you are so full of love after all their abuse. But thank God you are, and their toxicity did not turn you into a toxic person.

I suspect that your deep empathy was a result of all you endured and that you have transformed much of that pain into something remarkably beautiful.

Now all that beautiful empathy, kindness, and understanding needs to surround that little girl you were and the person you are now so that you love and protect her from further harm. It may sound odd but I see you telling that little girl exactly what your mother was incapable of doing. And loving her enough to protect her from further harm from these people who are only motivated by hatred. That will mean not allowing them access to her ever again. They are unworthy of touching a hair of her head or of yours. I know how hard it is to block phone numbers and keep them blocked, but I think it is the only way to keep her (and you) safe. Changing phone numbers is a good idea and losing their info will help you protect that little girl who deserves all the love and protection they were completely unable to give – and never will be.
