you're right vashhhh. i can't let my mom isolate me from the rest of my family. i'm still close with all my cousins and i've talked with two. i'm going to be happy to see them. last i saw them was a family reunion. they all have kids and they remind me of when we were kids. i don't want to miss out on that.
my mom has too much power. but it's about to go away.
this has been such a rough patch. i feel completely exhausted. my energy has been spent. finally started the crying last night. there's a lot of pain right now but a lot of light in spite of it.
i'm ready to celebrate life. i can't wait to go fishing next weekend and get away from it all for a while.
