Dear Derek:

I read a bit through the thread looking for a guilt-core belief. I came across the little you shared about your relationship with your mother, Feb 28: “her love for me was very conditional.. if we ever did  something wrong at home, it was quite common for her to pointblank ignore us as punishment.” Later you shared how you worked as a teenager because she told you, I suppose, that she can’t pay for everything you need. But then she… punished you for working by selling your dog without you having a chance to say goodbye.

Sometime later she came to your work and told you to never come home again. Why did she do that, do you know… tell you to not come back home?
