That mother/eldest daughter relationship...so much can be healed by being honest with each other, the mother being honest about her struggle and the daughter being honest about her feelings of abandonment
Cultivating compassion for each other is key. seeing each other as perfectly flawed, capable of making mistakes and capable of learning from them as well. But this involves both parties to admit to being human.

I genuinely wish this for whoever has this opportunity w their mother, I unfortunately don’t think I’ll ever get there w mine (tbh don’t really need to atp in my life) bc there’s too much mess on her end and thankfully I’ve realized I don’t need to fix any more of her mistakes

My moon sign is my mother's sun sign ♏️. She was an engima - distant, too - for most of my childhood. Since I've become an adult, she's still an engima; but not a distant one.

I do not bother with them anymore. Healing isn’t linear & we don’t always have to keep those connections open if they cause us more ongoing pain or trauma 🙏

This is the path my mom & I are now on, & I was SO CLOSE to tapping out, thinking it could never happen. But, then we had a brutally honest 1-on-1 where I was open & pointed about all of my feelings & what boundaries I needed, & everything since has shifted! 🥺🙏💞
