genuinely that was very brave of you. I've been non contact with my mum for 4 years and after all that time the thought of calling and hearing her voice and having her hear mine in real time is very overwhelming. it's alot different from email or text it feels much more real. I don't know you but i know that must have taken alot of guts to do so very well done. good on you I hope you and your mum can figure stuff out at your own pace and in your own time :)

im so happy for you, i’m crying a bit. don’t beat yourself up about not doing it before, it might’ve gone different if you did, i think you did it at exactly the right time and that’s why it went so well. 💓

that first conversation after reconnecting is so bizarre. i absolutely remember that buzzing feeling, the confusion and hope and fear all rolled up into one nauseating package. i really hope this works out for you, losing family is never easy and it’s a remarkable thing to be given the potential to have them back.

Wow, makes me tear up. Those must be such huge feelings... there's so much to unpack. It's hard to see parents as just another adult in the world. You've offered so much empathy for her as a human. I hope she sees how fortunate she is to have a wonderful, enlightened and healthy person as her child. Maybe you can both heal further, together.

I am crying for you. Because it is messy. There is probably so much hurt and regret and longing. I think you’re going about this the right away. Opening up little by little, testing the response you’re getting. Not flinging the doors wide open. And she sounds like she’s become more emotionally aware and I hope takes responsibility for how she showed up as a young parent. It sounds like she’s waiting for your lead and giving you the space you need to come to her. Take care of yourself. This is heavy stuff. And despite being a full grown adult with massive amounts of emotional intelligence, reconnecting with a parent can make you feel little again ♥️

This is lovely and shows how nuanced no contact and estranged relationships can be further down the line. So pleased it was a positive first step for you both ❤️

sounds like you both had a lot of growing to do at the time, and needed space to grow authentically without the shadow of who you were to each other at the time. perhaps now is a good time to show up authentically for each other. one thing I learned in a similar situation is that the other person never had to be what I expected them to be, they can only be who they are. so I can't expect them to be anything else. and as hard as it is, sometimes it means accepting they the other person can't be who you needed, or be as emotionally mature as you etc.

This makes me want to try. It’s been 9 years and I don’t trust that things have changed, but part of me still really wants to try. The thing about needing to be in a place where you can handle the emotions that are coming up…yeah. And I’m finally in that place. Ugh, it’s so hard, and props to you for taking such good care of yourself through this big step!
