MotherMayI

If I was given the privilege of having my own ‘mother’ acknowledge me, I would ask her what the purpose of birthing a child was, if she was just going to abandon the emotional responsibilities that come with the job title. That abandonment made me feel like it was my job to pacify her ego, by reinforcing the fact that she did the “best she could”. But if the “best you could” caused emotional trauma, in the kids you mandated into this existence…you failed at a job you chose.
