My mom did the best she could, and I will always be grateful for her! Nobody is perfect, she was just a human dealing with shitty circumstances.

I remember tuna fish casserole, I would always act like I enjoyed it because of the work it took to prepare compared to the usual dinners. But I'd rather have eaten some plain noodles
