Today i sat with my head in my mother's lap and she started caressing my hair and said "20 saal guzar gaye kabhi apni beti ko sahi se pyar he nahin kiya" and i legit wanted to cry

Mum continued "shuru se parhaiyun main daal diya, kabhi pucha he nahin k pareshaan to nahin ho" and my heart wept i swear

I tell my mom almost everything, but i never tell her about my anxiety, my breakdowns and my mental struggles, i feel she won't understand and i would hate watching her worried and helpless, but i so crave to tell her
