good news!


i'm totally blown away. in a good way.
i've detached myself from my mother for awhile. she was very mentally ill and she only made me feel worse when i communicated with her.
she sent me an email last night. as some of you know i was very upset last night. i responded and all my feelings and thoughts poured out. after hitting send i wondered if i had just made a huge mistake.
i didn't.
i got a response from her with very healthy comments and suggestions. she's always had an issue with boundaries with me and overstepped them and made me feel uncomfortable. she asked if she could visit and actually for the first time asked me how i would feel about it and if i'd be comfortable with it.
wow.
i know she's been seeing a new therapist. apparently he's very good.
i think me and my mother could possibly have a relationship again.
i'm happy for her. i'm just so shocked about the role reversal in the relationship. now i'm the crazy one.
