“I’m so sorry, Tyler. I will never understand how parents can act in such a way towards their children who are meant to be loved unconditionally. You are an amazing person and I hope that you have the opportunity to speak to your mother again when you’re ready. I don’t know how she’ll react, but it sounds like you have some things you need to get off your chest with her. Perhaps confronting her will give you the peace you’re seeking. At the very least, it will give you some closure.”
