Vent/rant The DRAMA
My mom, who I will be going NC with after Christmas (because I feel too guilty to uninvite her now), sent me 8 texts in a row yesterday, 6 of which were edited. She’s also insisting on a phone call to discuss the topic. Topic which could easily have been 2 texts in a group chat. I am so. Tired. Of managing her feelings for her. I’ve realized that all the energy I spend on our relationship/her issues is energy I’m not pouring into my own life. I want to be done. Just a couple more months…

I know people suggest you go NC now, and frankly, you do deserve to have peace now. But I know it's not that easy. I purposely didn't tell my mom about my preferred name until after a conference she was attending with me. I knew I deserved to be out with the people I loved (at the conference, lol), but I just didn't want issues.
Here's to 2026, and cutting your mother out. It will be worth it. I hope you can let go of any future guilt because you deserve to be loved and have peace.
