I've been thinking lately that I want to have a "real" conversation with my mom where I tell her about how I feel like we have been kind of pretending with each other a lot lately. Keeping things very surface level. I'm not sure why, but I want to ask with open curiosity and see what she has to say.
Thank you for this reminder. Sometimes dealing with the difficult person is exactly the thing to do for my own self.

And so is my dad and my uncles. So check your privilege and think of people who don't have any living family members.
