Hi Anita,

Lovely to hear from you.
I do agree with you, I think my mother did get too close. I spoke to her today on the phone and she somewhat admitted that. She got stung herself by my brother for talking to his ex, and she now says to me – that she is letting them get on with it. This was important I think, for two reasons. (1) she is allowing them to sort out their own problems. (2) finally, she is putting her needs before others’. I’m so glad for her. Of course, I know my mother, she will always put her family’s needs before her own. But hearing her today made me realise she is ready to pursue her own goals and dreams and step away from her children’s needs, to be there as a support always, but not to come rushing in to ‘save us’ from making mistakes. Just that element of trust for us – to allow us to crack on.

🥰❤️
