We can honor them without inhaling their toxicity.

Define honor: Keeping your own ground in a respectful manner.

You're so right.

My mother is a trigger for me; a HUGE trigger.

Gonna stay away and totally alter the way I interact with her, if I do at all.

Thanks.

Do what I do...STAY AWAY!!
In my opinion, staying away in this instance IS RESPECT & HONOR!
Just because she is your mother, doesn't mean that you have to be there!
I respect my mother so much to the point that I stay away from her, otherwise...I'd so screw up my ticket to heaven!
