Hit the nail on the head with this one. And it's worth highlighting that you acknowledge the good in your perhaps "difficult" mother - because you wouldn't be the wonderful you without her! :)
I hope society (and Substack) pays more attention to this issue. Maybe you need to run for office - start local. (Just a thought)
Thank you! That's kind of you. I think I'll be able to write about the 'good mom' soon. Right now, it's a little tough--but there were many gifts she gave me. Now, about public office...haha...after you, my dear!
it takes a keen eye and grit to get down to the essence of this reality. As one of the millions referenced in this piece, I'm grateful MP is devoting her gifts to describing the challenges of caring for the aging people who cared for us.
