Tessa tells us about sharing her true feelings about her mom’s relationship choices for the first time.
“Having to set boundaries with, and have difficult discussions with your one remaining parent is really hard…She’s my mom, and she’s my only mom, and what happens if I’m suddenly at odds with her?”
“What are my mom’s golden years going to look like? Are they going to be golden at all if she’s stuck with this guy?”
Key topics include toxic relationships, parent-child dynamics, parental loss, and setting relationship boundaries.
