Do you know how deeply my mom’s feelings get hurt when I take my intermittent breaks from her life?
It is so difficult. For her, and for me.
For her because she doesn’t comprehend or understand or agree.
For me, because I am aware. Fully conscious and aware that her feelings are hurt, and equally honest and aware of how necessary our space is for my own mental health and well-being.
Cycle breakers are brave, but as I have said before, it’s difficult. It’s work. And it does not always feel like a courageous thing.
Sometimes and from my experience, most of the tome, what is right is not easy.
Keep going anyway.
