Disturbingly accurate of Donald Trump and my mother although not as malignant as DJT. At 59 I have worked on the traumas associated with this relationship. Having lost my adoptive father at 7 life with my mother was and is unpredictable. I roll between the clear need to cut all ties but a heart that believes in forgiveness and compassion. The amount of time, thought, processing and energy I have given to the connection and all the embodied self abuse is astonishing to me. Your article was incredibly helpful in seeing this truth which I know but can loss sight of. My perfectionism has been on full display in my life recently and I am grateful that my heightened awareness and reading your piece helps me to keep walking forward to express the full breathe of my being 💕
