People forget that being a mother does not make you right or saintly. People like to glorify mothers; as children, we grow up into adults who are baffled, looking backward, to find that our mothers are the ones who made us broken. You are so strong and intelligent, and I really resonate with the Dearest Mother post you made. There's something to be said for people who can look back at their childhood with clarity. I hope you're doing okay today.
Thanks, It means a lot to hear that. I am not doing ok today but I will get over it soon enough. She has just chosen to make herself a larger frustration than usual. Thanks for you note though. Its really good to hear.
