Seeing my mother today for the first time in over 5 years, so of course spent the night going over every possibly argument and guilt trip she'll pull up. However, am taking Boyo, who she hasn't met, so she'll certainly be on her best behaviour.
Big deep breaths. You are strong, capable, kind and loved despite her intentions to make you feel otherwise.
This made me tear up, thank you ๐
Every child deserves a parent but not every parent deserves a child. Hope it goes okay.
All the luck! ๐โโฌ๐โโฌ๐โโฌ
Some mothers are just... Ugh!
Sending you good vibes!!
She can make her own choices about how to behave...but if she chooses to be shitty then that has a consequence, and it won't be a reflection on you
You don't have to see her for another five years if she's a dick about things.
Or ever
Hope all goes well for you. :)
