Hi. Sorry for poofing like that. I'm. Hrm. Okay would be a stretch. But I'm better than yesterday.

hugs

Sɴᴏᴡʙᴇʀɪᴄʜ texted me and stopped me spiralling, anyway.

Glad to help. When I'm more confident on the road I'll come visit

Mom complained about Liz again. She's like...Liz stresses her out a lot, which I understand as a concept, but she talked about how Liz is so resentful about how my parents were different towards me and I'm like I feel liek that's totally reasonable of her if kind of regrettable

Liz complained that mom and dad always took me on vacation with them and tbh while it wasn't always it was the vast majority of the time

She's also upset that they're going to be on vacation on her birthday, which I also think is totally reasonable

definitely.

Since the reason for it is that mom forgot when her birthday is

w i n c e

and you caught hearing about it from both sides. that is stressful.

eek, that's rough

Hah no

This is all from mom's side. Mom feels a bit bad about forgetting her own child's birthday

But the rest is from Mom's pov. it's just that while she feels Liz is being unreasonable, I just...like...Mom, you DO treat her differently.

This was today, btw, because Mom and I talk on the phone every Sunday

Oh

I guess the reason I started into talking about it is that this is why I don't discuss my mental state with my mom. She sees Elizabeth as a burden.

It's just like

I get so mad because while I also find Elizabeth incredibly draining, it's not her fault that she's sick

And mom seems to...not get that her problems are because she's sick
