I crossed continents and oceans so to get as far away from my mother as possible, and away from her I made a lot of progress, but every time I visited her, all the progress evaporated. Then away from her again, I made progress again, starting from scratch.. and next visit- it was all gone. After years of this dynamic, there was no more progress… until after I ended ALL contact with her.

I crossed oceans but then cane back! COVID was one hell of a time! But then I’ve got a place that’s not very close or far from my parents’! And I want to forgive them, they don’t think they are doing something wrong while they do it.  I really want to forgive them and grow as a person.  These petty tantrums that I felt like throwing today just made me feel worse.

Thanks for this great website and awesome blogs that have kept me going and will keep teaching me 🙂
