Re: Relationship with her mother.
Firstly I am not defending her.
I had a very toxic relationship with my mother up until I was 40.
She was in and out of my life from the age of 16. By my choice.
I forgave her time after time, gave her a second chance, time after time after time.
Until one day I realised neither one of us should continue like this.
Realised I was never going to be content with what she had to offer me and it felt like it was all too little, too late.
The difference is, I would not throw her under the bus publicly, she fucked up badly, she has to live with that, she has to sleep with that.
I wish her no harm and I hope she is in good health and has found some peace in her life, because she hasn’t had a easy life either.
Rach mum was active in her life from the beginning of her Sm days, then she wrote a book, and then there was no mum and her sister disappeared as did her older brother (she has two brothers).
Either Rach isn’t ready to break away or she has overly exaggerated the toxic relationship.
I know what one I think it is.
As per normal, some things need to be kept off Sm, but as we all know Rach can’t do that.
It will be interesting to see what her next book is about and if her mother is featured in that.
Either way, her mother is a elderly lady now, she is active in her and her patchwork family especially Lula. So you make amends or you don’t, but most certainly do not use your mum for content.
There comes a time you need to draw a line.
