Today’s talk is for anyone who’s ever been in a relationship where you had to walk on eggshells, read the room, and make yourself small. It’s for anyone who ever hated themselves for not leaving, or not leaving sooner. It’s about the root cause of what makes us stay when we know we should go. It’s also for anyone with complicated maternal bonds who might feel the reverberations around Mother’s Day, and it’s for all of us who miss our moms beyond belief, flaws and all.
