I don’t really have a great relationship with my mother.
I don’t feel she understands where I come from.

Sometimes I feel she talks too much and unless I press her to keep something I tell her a secret, she would tell someone else.

There’s also some resentment from the past. Separating from my dad and taking me with her exposed me to things I don’t want to write about.

At the same time, I love her deeply
and will fight anyone that tries to hurt her

She’s very generous
And if I need something, she usually comes through

I know she means well but can’t help but be frustrated with her.

I want to show her some appreciation
I want us to have a better relationship

Before it’s too late
