A while ago, my mom got sick. Scary sick. Due to this, she doesn’t remember a whole lot of my childhood. This understandably frustrates her, and most often she cries because she’s so angry.

Sometimes I lie and tell her I don’t remember things I do. Example: I have a small scar that’s been with me since I was very young. I mentioned it to her, and she asked me what it’s from. I pretended not to know, because I can’t take her crying. It breaks my heart to know she’s so upset.

I wish I could be there with her. I can’t afford to move, so I’m halfway across the country while she’s effectively disabled. And I don’t want to make her cry.

Idk, I think I just needed to get this out.
