Dear Linarra:

“It won’t be easy“- no, it is not easy and it will not be easy.. and then it will become easy. Think of this image: a planet moves in an orbit around the sun. Gravity holds the planet in that orbit, moving around and around and around the sun. You are like the planet and your mother is like the sun. It is very difficult for you to break that orbit and move away from the center of your orbit, that is, away from your mother.

But once gravity is diminishes and then exists no more- it will be easy to keep moving away from her.

Be patient with the process and very gentle with yourself. Don’t pressure yourself. I hope you sleep well tonight!
