Veronica and her mom are estranged because of her mom's intense struggles with mental health that subsequently resulted in abuse. Veronica has been grieving her mom every day, for her whole life.
Veronica didn't have a specific take-away but shared 2 nuggets that I really connected with:
"Sometimes people we love belong on a shelf. I felt that way about my mom. I can pull her down and remember her as the person she used to be, but I don't have to bear witness to who she is now and how that might impact me."
Her therapist challenged Veronica when she minimized her story: "What a disservice that is to the younger version of you that survived, to minimize that experience. She deserves to be honored for having survived and become the person that you are today."
