A moment where her mask slipped

I’ve been writing out a doc of everything I’ve been through—literally trauma dumping on a Google Doc—and I’ve been piecing together the events from October that broke the entire dynamic. After almost a week following several heated discussions where she was trying to manipulate me (again), and several ignored calls from her after that (presumably to drag me back into the argument), she called me one more time. I said that I was doing something and asked what was up. She texted me this back:

Your parents love you unconditionally and are the ones that are always there for you. But given that, it does not give you the right to abuse that love by ignoring and avoiding us. Your actions show us how you value all of the love and kindness that we have shown you your whole life. Life is not a one way street.
