Your mom sounds awesome.
My mom would generally stop what she was doing to stay home if we were sick, or injured. She took care of us in that regard.
Our childhoods were turbulent. Neither me nor my sibling was easy to handle. I could tell she did her best, but she was always wanting the finer things in life. A shopoholic and a black belt in passive aggressiveness. A manipulator and always wanted to have things in control done her way.
Both my parents had a talent for making us feel like we were never good enough. Expected too much from us and when things got too much to handle. They threw us to the therapists and shoved psych pills down our throats. Being in the medical field really fucked our minds up more than anything. So many medications for illnesses we never had when all we needed was someone to understand us. Many of them did permanent damage to our bodies and were recalled over the years too.
Also discovering recently that she was a master liar was a lot harder on me and severely damaged our relationship. Now knowing that there are a lot of family secrets and manipulation that I will never know the truth of. Is heavy on my heart.
