We had photo class today. Another photo shoot outside with students who understand cameras and equipment better than me.
I’m distancing myself from the family situation and my mom in general. i’m feeling calmer even though I’m having pelvic pain today. I feel like I’m getting on with my life and putting much of this in my rearview mirror. I feel I’m seeing things clearly for the first time.
I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about what we discussed in therapy last week. I’m seeing more clearly my childhood and adult relationship with my mom and parents in general.
I’m grateful for perspective. I’m grateful I don’t need to villainize my parents or family members to make my own decisions.
I don’t need to make them enemies, but I also don’t have to make things better than they are. It feels like a healthy truce.
