Maturing is realizing...
Your mother doesn't love you as much as you think. Yes, you can admit that it is due to her own trauma and life experiences, but that doesn't invalidate the trauma she caused. It's just that she can't love you more than her heart can allow. Her own refusal to heal before or at least during motherhood is what crippled and strained the relationship you wish you had.
Give yourself grace. You deserve it.
XOXO, Reina 💋
