Heart to heart with mum

I finally told mum how upset I feel when she tells me I make her depressed and she understood my suffering I didn't except her too but knowing she understood where I came from made me feel better. I pretty much felt like she never understood or cared to understand how I felt but now that I know she is aware of my feelings. It makes this battle easier to fight because all I really ever wanted was her to acknowledge how I felt. I didn't want a magical wand to fix my problems all I wanted was to be heard. If talking about my problems and feelings look like I want pity so be it I'm not staying silent for the sake of pleasing others anymore.

I'm so glad she listened. It means a lot to be heard. Hopefully this can bring the two of you closer. Good for you for speaking up.

We are starting to become a lot closer I am very grateful because I was very close to her as a child up to ten years old. Then I just hit with hormones and adult ADHD and then I became emotionally disturbed and things just became complicated but finally my ADHD after years of medication and medication is finally becoming controlled. It is everything I've ever truly wanted and I might actually have a change to complete my tafe course that I'll be starting and see everything through. My mother has always wanted me be in control of my life and I'm starting to get there also she's letting me emotionally and creatively express myself. She helped me bleach my hair and dye it turquoise. To have her support me just means everything to me.
