FOR BETTER AND FOR WORSE

Here I am again, months and months since my last blog post. To be honest, I am ashamed I've abandoned this blog for so long. My intention was to write once a week, or at least once a month.

What's more important for mum, me, the human is that I can come to terms with my past, particularly the dysfunctional relations I have with my own mother.

It explains absolutely everything that is wrong. I am so relieved to finally know what the "problem" is called.

I am no nearer to forgiveness however and my personal journey will be a long and hard one, perhaps with no happy ending.

Never the less, I will be reading "Will I ever be good enough?" by Karyl McBride in the meanwhile.

Signing off.
