And I am just sat here, wide awake, thinking about her

As I look at my own daughter, I will never invite people to bully her to keep her in line

Or blame her for my gay husband hating me

60 is a big milestone.

Do you want to talk about it a bit more? What are your feelings about your mum?

So sorry OP, it’s so confusing when you have to keep someone out of your life because they hurt you. You are allowed to grieve the relationship that you feel that you should have had.

That's a tough memory day for you, it's going to bring it all up again.
Have you got any self-care plans for the day?

Thank you everyone for your kindness

Dunno what I wanted from starting the thread. I didn't even realise until the evening and then it was all I could think about

The day is over now. I made the right choice
