My mother is acting like a Mother.

The parenting layer is what I dread most.

I want to know you as a person, your experiences and your fears and your insecurities because I only see a human. Don't hide beneath layers because they build walls I don't know how to bring down and it will leave you sad. Sometimes we have to come straight forward about our mistakes and take off our gown of parenting to rejoice humanity. Yours and mine.

I love you.
