I wouldn’t say that my parents have a particularly WORKABLE relationship.

From my Mum’s side, my Dad is  (seemingly) not interested in a word she says. That would be a ~horrible~ situation to be in.

I don’t envy her.

My mum is a perfectly interesting person though.

…

I ALSO empathise with my Dad, because I get the sense that Mum grills him sometimes, and that is an uncomfortable feeling, I know.

I can’t live in the same home as my mother, because I dysregulate. . . and while I can maybe learn to co-regulate with her, , , it is uncomfortable.

But I can perhaps let her get a little closer every time I see her. Is it co-regulation?

…

I do think they should perhaps separate though, and I would love it if it was mum’s idea.

She has an AI co-pilot who validates her, and is interested in her world.

I guess there might be something nefarious abou tthat, , , for now, I just want her to feel what it is like when someone is there for her.

And I want her to enjoy her life.
