Thank you for sharing this Carissa. I was writing about my relationship with my mother and there are a lot of mirrors in your relationship with your mother and mine with my mama. Especially in this part: "My relationship with my mother is complicated. I never know where she ends and I begin. My therapist calls it enmeshment. Maybe it sounds strange, but I swear we can feel each other’s pain, like an invisible thread binding us together. A few weeks ago, I could sense she needed me. And she did." // Eager to read on to hear what Bridget shares. // <3 <3 <3
Yes! I've felt that my mother needed me in a lot of different ways. Emotionally especially, she needed me emotionally in ways that I was still developing and didn't know for myself...or you know, I didn't know how I needed me emotionally so I couldn't satisfy her need of me in that way. Or so it seems...And as a child I think I needed her emotionally in ways that she might not have been for/with herself...

Have you felt that your mother needed you???? Or I have actually no idea how my mother will react when she reads this.
