Dear Anita,

I like your use of the word ownership. This does happen doesn’t it. People become owned by others. I think sometimes it feels foreign to me now. It feels like If I can let go of my mother I can do anything. In the sense that it is amazing that people don’t live their OWN authentic life sometimes and are so influenced by others. It is difficult to see these people as their own strong human. And yes often friendships with such types does change and drift.
