I’ve never had a normal relationship with my mother. When I was younger it was toxic and abusive. It’s definitely not an excuse, but I am neurodivergent and looked for attention in the worst of ways. After living an hour apart for 5 years, we’re finally forming a healthy relationship. I have strong boundaries and grown to accept that I cannot fix her. She’s alt right and an alcoholic. I’ve done everything in my power to change this, but it’s only hurt me in the long run.
Yesterday, she planned a whole day of outings with just us and we went the entire day without having an argument. This was the first time that this has ever happened.
Food: we split a Rueben at a small bakery and I had a oat milk vanilla latte
