I know my mom loves me. I know deep down that she cares about me and that she only wants the best for me. I understand that she's scared, that she's afraid of what's happening to me, afraid of the choices I've made. But that doesn't give her the right to treat me the way she does. Fear shouldn't be an excuse for pushing me away or making me feel less than.
I get it. I understand that it's hard for her to see me struggling, to see me go through things she can't control. But I'm still her daughter. I'm still the person she raised, and I need her to accept me for who I am. I need her to understand that, just because I'm not the person she imagined me to be, it doesn't mean I'm any less worthy of her love.
I would never treat my own children this way. I would never let my fear or my worries turn into anger or rejection. As a mother, I would want to embrace and support my child, no matter what. Because that's what love is about. It's about acceptance. It's about being there for each other, no matter how tough life gets.
But right now, it feels like she can't see me. It feels like she's too caught up in her own fear to see that I'm struggling, that I need her, that I need her to accept me. I'm not asking for perfection, just love and understanding. I just want her to see me, really see me, and know that I'm still the same person I've always been.
I know she loves me, but love should never feel like rejection. It should never feel like I'm being pushed away. I need her to understand that, too.
