So I think, you know, as a child, it makes sense that you looked up to her and you put her on this pedestal and you loved her, you know?
And we're not meant to know what abuse is at that age.
Like, you can't really understand it and dissect it.
It almost becomes your normal.
Even though you feel it's wrong, you kind of, that's your life.
anything she just doesn't care to want to do it yeah and i think that the issue is as a human being you know especially when it's something weird like i feel like like i think you kind of mentioned this all we want is a parent's love yeah you know and i think that as a child you like long for that so much especially when it's so like ingrained in you that it's like i feel like your whole life she was very like
it's there and it's not, it's there and it's not.
And it's like, I think naturally as a human, like when you're given a little bit, you always want more of the good stuff, you know?
And then it's just this constant toxic circle that you're going in.
And I think that you probably to this day have this soft spot for her and this care for her.
But the, and like, I feel like there's days that you might be like, oh, like, why do I feel that way for somebody that
doesn't even care to check in on me.
But I think that's a very normal human feeling and reaction.
But at the same time, I always say, you know, not the people that are placed in our life as our family, that doesn't mean that they're supposed to always be there.
If somebody can't support and respect you and treat you kindly, they don't need a place in your life.
You know, like for any reason.
And I think that if somebody is giving you more stress and anxiety and worry and fear and everything in between.
They are just not good for your life, you know, and I like I said, I do think it's hard in the sense of.
we want to think, especially if you're a good person, you want to make everyone happy.
