[serious] Is it okay to push your mom out of your life if it’s to protect your mental health and overall wellbeing? Why or why not?

I’m drunk which is probably a good thing because my true feelings come out when I’m drunk fuck it, I pushed my mom out when I was 15, or more so she pushed me out when I was 15. It was the best thing that could have ever happened to me ever I the period of time ever. I was able to escape from the negativity of their lives and create my own wake with positivity and success, if that makes sense. I was able to go to college with the help Of grants and successfully obtain my job of being a full time firefighter after putting in long hours and time as a part timer. As a full timer I’m on track to retire at 53 with benefits I could only dream of. To make things clear “I would have NEVER been able to achieve this while around my mother and stepdad” they weren’t good parents and escaping that black hole of negativity and bad parenting was the best thing my 16 year old self could have done....as much as it hurt and scared me for life I can honestly say it was the number one contributer to my “success”. I’ve never felt so able to answer a Reddit question until I came across this....it is completely okay, do what you need to do for your future and your family’s future bother.
