I Did Well, I Wish You Saw
“I really wish you cared enough to see my growth.
I really wish you cared enough to want to see my growth instead of tearing me down because you’re angry at the world.
I really wish you cared enough to hope the best for me, without the caveat of being under your thumb.
I really wish you cared enough to want me to succeed, even though it’s not the success you deemed appropriate.
I really wish you cared.
That would be enough.”
I wrote this back in 2023, on a late no sleep kind of night. I wrote it to the mother I’ll never speak to, or see again, and she’ll probably never see or read it, but, I’m done staying silent about gaslighting and emotional abuse and neglect.
It may not look like much; but, it’s a bigger step than most really know.
🖤 Thanks for reading, if you do.
