okay so can we talk about mommy issues? i always see daddy issues talked about, but mommy issues exist too & it almost feels taboo to talk about . like i feel isolated in my strained relationship w my mom bc most people are like that’s your MOM how dare you?!

she’s amazing in many ways don’t get me wrong. but a lot of aspects of our relationship are SO toxic. realized this as a teen, but i always assumed it was just me that had the “problem” & it sucks. i have zero self-confidence in my abilities + thoughts. it’s hard.
