The important part was that I wasn’t going to change myself to make my mother happy. It wouldn’t work anyway. Growing up with Fiona Knight, I’d learned the one magical truth that had made my whole adulthood easier: it was impossible to truly please my mother, so I shouldn’t even try.

I am 48 and still try sometimes and it never works🤦‍♀️
