Hey Mystique!

Sorry you had to go through all that. To some extent, I can relate to you. A lot of our problems arise when we try to change others or try to control external situations.

Was that call from your in-laws really worth the argument you had with your mother?

I feel that things really get easier if we act out of love and acceptance. Understandably, her actions hurt you a lot but you are really lucky that you don’t have to live with her and have a loving family of your own.

Maybe when she is in a good mood, you can suggest therapy.  Both of you can go together, it may help your relationship.
