It's been 7 months since I talked to my mother.

I took the space after a very stressful wedding planning season (thankfully, the big day went beautifully). However, my mom was consistent with her own goals all throughout. I just. Can't hold space for her and our weird blurry boundaries anymore.

But I'm not too sure what to do. The ball is officially in my court, my husband made sure to let her know I needed space during the holidays, and she and I have not spoken since.

I guess I want to give it one more try, to see if she's willing to acknowledge that what we have isn't normal and how every interaction takes something from me. I'm at a loss to how to approach this, and I don't think this is something to run by AI either.
