It was tough for me to fully process the fact that my mom isn’t capable of providing the emotional support I need. I love her but talking to her about how I feel is never productive, so instead I focus on trying my damnedest to be nice to her even when I feel like shit.

I’m not always successful.

EDIT: It’s not like she doesn’t try, and she is reading up on some books my older brother told her to read regarding our ADHD. She’s getting better. And she was never abusive or malicious, just… didn’t quite know how to handle me.
