Evening 👋🏽
The reason Im here is to chat to some buddies/folks online about the past relationship between me and my mum which by anyone’s standards to be fair was or is fairly toxic and has left some baggage.
About 4/5 years ago my mother was involved in an accident in Europe and & was under medical care for a number of months, I gave up work at the time because my dad couldn’t & done everything around the home from bills & housework to her care but I guess throughout that period I never before anything else addressed her personal care in terms of toilet duties, bathing which was performed all in good faith there’s no punchline to that.
The red flags in terms of like us becoming close, me not dealing with my emotions, no one facing the facts we was depressed and living in a bubble, my mums heavy reliance on me and replacing my dad after her recovery, I done what a lot of people would do and have done and bury my head in the sand at the time because it seems easier than dealing with it.
