Perfect Mercury retrograde memories of a complex relationship with your family. So in line with the astrology of this eclipse season. Sun in Taurus (jewels), Mars in Cancer (family conflict). Sending you a hug. Love your writing.
Yeah, family dynamics, mother-child dynamics… rarely tidy. Maybe one reason I never had kids. All I know is I’m just gonna try my best not to end up bitter about Life 🤞🏼
Wow, yes I guess that would add a lot of layers to things…
I was not adopted. I’m an only child, my mom was chronically depressed and grew up in Germany during the war, and my dad was autistic and they divorced when I was 3. Aren’t families fun!
Very touching. I understand well the complexities of difficult family dynamics but could never desccribe it so well in words. This story spoke to me on a profound level. Love and light to you!
That was beautiful and painful. I don't have any words of comfort for complicated family relations, except maybe to keep remembering those moments of levity and love.
What a story. Could be a short film. My relationship with my mother was much more conventional. There was jewelry too. But, in my case, no one wanted it! So, of course, the inevitable question is: whatever happened to the Saudi gold?
Wow, this was powerful
Thanks, Tom - glad to have you aboard!

...if you don't mind my asking...Were you adopted by any chance? I was, and it adds a whole weird dimension...
