Oh mother

[carnagefairy]

My Mum is so toxic and deluded. Talking about how we're both short tempered with each other and I mention how she's the one who gets poisonous and personal. Ivan think of so many hurtful things she's said to me without provocation that all there is now is a giant lump in my throat and years blurring my vision, instead of words. How can she say that

Ceri, you are without doubt the most amazing woman I know. Your are anything but lazy, disorganised, unthoughtful or nasty. I know it's too hard to not take your loved ones comments personally but please please remember that we always hurt the ones we love the most, and a great majority of what comes out of our mouths is self-reflection or dissatisfaction and rarely a result of others behaviours. I am so sorry you are experiencing these things, and hope you can retain perspective & self value because you are beyond amazing. Love!!

Hugs. The only thing people like this excel at is burning others. I think of my dad as my true 'Mom' and recently had the opportunity to tell him this. I now just use my mother's toxicity to fuel reconnection of old interests (musical instrument practice, foreign languages - things I let fall by the wayside).

Ceri, you can do this too.

On that note, I'm off to play Bartók on my melodica, giggle xxx
