im so happy with where i am in the relationship i have with mum right now. it feels so good to be able to talk to her and have her listen to me without judgement. i love how i can have deep, intellectual conversations with her and have her understand my point of view. i love that even when she doesnt exactly understand what im going through, she understands that i am going through something, and she does her best to be supportive of me. i love that she doesnt say “no because i said so” or “no because im your mother and i know whats right for you,” but she actually looks at my situation from my point of view, and tries to be reasonable when she gives me advice. im so glad that ive gotten to this point with her because i really fucked up this summer and i remember how shitty i felt when she would look at me and i never want to feel that way, or have her feel the way she felt about me, ever again.
