There is a specific kind of cold that sets in when a house falls silent. When she stops asking you to do the things an adult should know how to do, it’s not because she ‘gave up.’ It’s because she has detached. She isn’t trying to change you anymore. She is mourning the loss of the partner she thought you were. If you look around and the dishes are piled high and your laundry hasn't moved, don't ask why she is distant. Look in the mirror. You are looking at the dependent she stopped trying to raise. It’s time to move up, or move out.
