At the moment a bit strained, I’m going to be having a conversation with her soon that may or may not clear the air
We’ve had difficulties ever since I went to college and realised how controlling and judgemental she is, she also doesn’t like how I’ve turned out as a person (I’m artistic, I don’t conform to her expectations of what a woman should be and act, and also being autistic probably adds to my ‘weirdness’)
I’m beginning to realise that I have ingrained ableism, coupled with horrendous masking courtesy of her
cheers mum 👍
