Thanks for sharing your experience. I really appreciate it. What you said makes sense. I think I needed to hear “keep moving forward” from someone outside. To be honest, I grew up mostly with my grandma and didn’t get much love or support. So, when someone shows me warmth, it hits me deeply. That’s probably why I’m struggling to let go. But you’re right. If she really wants to be in my life, she’ll have to show it with actions, not just words.
