Talking to Mom : Emotional Gymnasitcs |

article image placeholderUploaded by @DBPardes
It was just an actual hard experience to not feel the flow and feel impatient and watch myself be a little aggro, not towards her. That would be another kind of conversation. I was very present. But to myself, I was feeling impatient, like I wanted to get off the phone. But then sometimes I just absolutely crave to connect with her. So it's so complicated. Mothers, parents, but mothers in particular, I think, really bring out such complex emotions

And because I have a lot of friends whose parents died when they were very young, I really go back to that gratitude piece that you talked about and just appreciating the fact that my mom is still here, that she's relatively healthy, that she's of sound mind
