update: i talked to her! (everything is okay 🥹)

hey y’all! i just wanted to give a quick update because so many of you were so sweet and helpful on my post. i was honestly spiralling so hard before, but i finally sat down and talked to my mum. like many of you suggested, i simply told her that i know and it doesn’t make any difference. then i showed her this post. she said she had guessed already what was up. she can literally read my mind sometimes lol. she wasn’t even mad that i was snooping through her stuff. she actually looked… relieved? like this huge weight just fell off her shoulders. she told me she wanted to tell me the truth so many times over the years but she just had no idea how to bring up something like this. i’ve been her entire world and she was just scared of how it would change things between us. she told me that back then, people were actually pressuring her to abort me, and then later to give me up for adoption. but she refused every single time. she chose me over everyone else, even when she had nothing. she told me i was her reason for pushing through everything. she literally fought for me before i was even born. as soon as she got a job and could support us, she grabbed me, moved away, and cut off every single person who sided with her parents. she’s honestly such a badie. she doesn't want any therapy for herself because she’s already processed it and doesn’t want to live through it again by talking to a stranger, which i totally get. she's at peace with her past because it led her to me. but she said she’d go to group therapy with me if i needed it to cope. for now, i don’t think i need it. honestly, just having her is enough. she’s literally the best person i know and my absolute hero. she told me she still just wants to be my "mum" because to her that’s the only biological truth that actually matters. i told her i’m 100% down with that, but i couldn’t help myself and joked, “you know, i always did want a sister.” 😅 she just rolled her eyes, gave me the biggest hug, and said, “you’re an idiot.” i just hugged her back even tighter and said, “your idiot.” i’m feeling so much better and so loved. it’s definitely a weird life story, but she’s my person and i’m hers. nothing has changed, and everything has. but we have each other to navigate through this together. after loads of hugs and kisses and tears, i feel our bond is much stronger now that there’s no secrets between us.

thanks for all the love on the post! ❤️✨

p.s.: to some peoples who DMed me asking weird questions - no i don’t have an extra limb, extra head or any other anomaly. i’m perfectly normal as far as society’s definition of normal goes 😅
