Wow I appreciate your transparency about your estrangement with your eldest daughter. I personally had a period of no contact with my own mother and she says that it forced her to truly reflect on her own healing. We are in a period of reconciliation now but I don’t think that could have happened if we didn’t both make an effort to focus on our individual whole self healing. Thank you for this ❤️
I’m so glad you guys are reconnecting and doing the work. My daughter made me a better person even when we were not estranged. We are only 17 years apart and she taught me so much. I enjoyed who she was as a young woman and I hope we can reconnect as well. She definitely needed to be away from me. I can see there was a codependency that could feel stifling. I am glad your mom learned and is willing to do the work, and I’m proud of you choosing you!
