About this blog
They say you don't get to pick your parents. I am painfully aware of this fact.
At the start of the 2020 pandemic, I made the decision to cut contact with my mom. My aim is to achieve catharsis by writing about my experiences that led to this decision and perhaps make other estranged adult children feel less alone. In addition to documenting the ways my mom has ruined our relationship, I address the political and religious propaganda she posts to social media on a nearly daily basis.
I recommend reading The Missing Missing Reasons and any book from Dr. Steven Hassan.
I am not a private person, but it's probably for the best that I keep myself relatively anonymous. My sister posts here as well with her unique perspective.
