I remember once when I was 7 or 8, I was riding horses with my mum

We lived in a mountain range, and there were sprawling trails. My mum decided we should go forward into an uncleared area, the brush was so thick. You really couldn't see anything in front of you, and there was a lot of swamp around

She got angry at me because I didn't want to go in there, and turned to me and called me a stick in the mud, and said I'd never get anywhere if I didn't take risks

I still think about it often, and imagine how disappointed shed be in me. I am still overly cautious and I can't help it. I was always a reluctant and avoidant child and I am the same as an adult

@YoMomma I think my mum grew up in a pretty fucked up environment and that stuff trickles down. She isn't wholly a bad person, but yeah, I guess she has taught me a lot 💙

You're a wonderful mum

Yeah i guess i have bad habits from my environment too 😬 maybe she was trying to be supportive but doesn't know how? 😳 @caccoon

@YoMomma totally. We can only learn in inches. I haven't had kids because I know I didn't have a healthy upbringing and I don't want it to affect others

And yes, I think so 💙 I think she means the best but she is, and always was, distant. And so am I, but I hope, marginally, less so
