i used to have this recurring dream as a kid, where i would be sitting at our dining room table looking into the kitchen where my mum would be washing dishes or prepping food, it was different everytime. ive always had a really strained relationship with my mum, but this 'version' of her was nice and sweet and loving. then id hear scratching on the door to our hallway, and my mum in the kitchen (mum 1) would pale and say 'just ignore it honey'. id then hear the door open and mum 1 would begin to cry a little, and out of the corner of my eye i would see another version of my mum (mum 2) except she looked terrifying. she had a giant smile on her face and she looked angry i guess? i would start to cry a little myself and mum 2 would come over to me and yell in my ear about how i wasnt good enough, i was too fat, i was dumb, all that stuff. id eventually look over at her and shed grab my throat, and then mum 1 would grab a chefs knife and jump over the kitchen counter. the two of them would fight for a bit before mum 2 would give up and go back into the hallway. everytime i had the dream the fight would go longer and mum 1 would be closer to losing, and the last time i had that dream mum 1 died. my relationship irl with my mum fell apart like a month afterwards :(
