not much that was good @Glisten  re learning fm her. not easy as she was in abusive marriage 50 plus years

after she departed (7 years ago now)

realised she was smarter than ever imagined, ok thought she was smart anyway

she was very polite, humble, giving, but let someone who was her lesser and could not have got anywhere without her walk all over her

[Glisten]

@TAB  that must have been horrible for you to watch!
Children of an abusive relationship are also victims.

[TAB]

also children of people w PTSD and other problems re father , plus the immigrant thing, plus chip on his shoulder /no ambition @Glisten  he never really spoke to kids til older than 15

I put it to my mother once  that neither of them were parents

her answer , oh well, you were fed and clothed ..

[Glisten]

They are a difficult generation to connect with @TAB 

Things that we wouldn’t phase us, were hugely controversial for them. Like divorce, second marriages, illegitimate children. Gay people having to pretend to be straight.

A generation of secret keepers they are/were. It would have been a tough life.

Little wonder that my adult children are all about healing generational trauma.

But little comfort for you as child not getting your emotional and psychologically needs met.

Would it have made a difference to you, if your mom said, that she was sorry?

@Glisten I am so glad you're well ❤🍅🍎

How do you get the shell so that it is undetectable in the smoothie? My blender is good but I'm not sure it would be that good,

What else do you add to your smoothie?

@TAB egg flip, yum! As G said, that is one terrific mumma 💜

[TAB]

No. she was a bigger  victim @Glisten  maybe fi father said sorry. he had no clue though,  and got feral last few years so stayed away

@ENKELI it’s a Vitamix. I think the fat base helps?

I put kefir ice, half avocado, banana, macha, - something sweet like pineapple, datas or honey.

@TAB  I don’t blame you mate. I would have stayed away as well.

My nighty night meds have told me it’s time for sleep.
