Day One Hundred and Seventy Seven: Good Daughter



I am a good daughter.
It was mother’s day today. As you might have guessed from my earlier blogs, I do not exactly have the best relationship with my mother. It has been a long hard road to really finally be close to her, and occasionally she still does and says things that make me hate myself.
But I love her because she’s my mom.


So for mother’s day I was a good daughter and brought her a card and a gift (what she actually wanted) and had lunch and dinner with her, etc. More importantly I just spent time with her. I actually spend a lot of time with my family. I think it’s a little easier to deal with them since I moved out.
I’m a good daughter because I’ve actually made an attempt to make my life with my mother easier. Make our relationship better.
It takes time, but it’s worth it.

Challenge to my Readers:
Relationships with parents are a pain in the ass. Sometimes it’s worth it to work on those relationships, sometimes it isn’t. If you think it’s worth it, go ahead and try. If not, cut the poison and move on.
