I am genuinely sobbing bro. Gratitude for your divine expression, gratitude for sharing your unique experience. With this one, you’ve set me free too. Infinitely grateful to have stumbled upon this.
omg thank you so much for the kind words 🫂 thank you for taking the time to read it and I hope you’ll come back to it anytime you get that feeling of being stuck!
this was beautiful and very relatable to my own life. i wish i had to bravery to write about my mother but im not there yet. i loved this shay - i am speechless.
I can kind of relate to this, except I think its the other way around. my mum definitely wishes I liked her and I wish she loved me. I don’t grieve it because to me, this has been the reality since I came out the womb, its hard to grieve what you’ve never known. I want to say one day you’ll make peace with it but idk u to make that conclusion.
Thank you for writing this. I had no idea other girls felt the same way about their mothers. Thanks for creating a safe space for us all to meet and see reflections of ourselves.
seeing this right after having an argument about all the reasons i fall short in comparison to everyone else's kids she knows a few days ago and now traversing through what has now been a few days of silence. it hurts. it really, really does. i see your pain in mine. i just want her to love me because she loves me, not because i managed to scrape my way towards the first tier of her approval. i wish my mother liked me, too. i really, really do.
Thank you for writing this🫶🏾 It feels so good to be reminded that I am not alone in this pain❤️🩹
Thank you so much for writing and sharing this. I felt every word of this deep in my soul. Sending you love 💕💕💕

You articulated the thoughts I’ve been having recently so perfectly. This is such a touching piece. Unfortunately, I heavily relate to this

Thank you sm for sharing, this was beautiful 🫶🏾
I see you 🩷❤️🩹 it’s so heavy understanding we didn’t get the motherly love we wanted, while also knowing our mothers have their own unspoken pain 🌻
Amazing 🥲 you are beautiful
this was so incredibly profound. i know this same grief and i hope that someday soon you’ll be free from it ❤️🩹
This is so tender and honest. Our relationships with our mothers are so complex, painful, and raw. Thank you for sharing. With you. <3
So, hey boo. You didn’t hold my hand.
Almost cried reading the last part. It truly resonated 🤍
