had a terrible terrible dream about my mother before waking

she was being so mean, and i just cried and cried

this is why you try and resolve your relationships before people die โ€” but sometimes the other person just isnโ€™t willing. or able ๐Ÿ˜ž

@babyalligator Some people are who they are and sadly sometimes the best you can do is accept that resolution isnโ€™t always possible, even when itโ€™s your own mother. ๐Ÿ’œ

I had a lot of baggage with my Mama when she passed. I was 2000 miles from home and she had everyone swear not to tell me that she was dying of cancer. I was only 21 and she was 51.

But I found that it's possible to put the baggage away even after she died. It took therapy and lots of writing, but it's definitely possible.
