Our mothers are NOT children that need rescuing, soothing and coddling.

They are grown women with their own paths and healing journeys that we cannot save them from.

Having healthy boundaries with your mother is a form of self-respect and NOT equivalent to "abandoning" her.

Healing involves finding that balance between compassion for our mothers AND boundaries to protect ourselves.

The bottom line is your inner child needs you more than your mother does, and we have to make the brave, taboo choice of prioritizing ourselves as more important than our mothers.

That's healthy self-development.

If your mother is not on a healing path herself or willing to reflect on her behavior, etc. all you can do is create some measure of distance to protect yourself.

YOU are your priority not her. You get to focus on your own wellbeing without guilt.

Resist the guilt-tripping that comes out of her own emotional immaturity and childhood wounds.

Learning how to validate yourself even when your mother cannot, is a huge milestone on the path of healing the Mother Wound.

fun fact sometimes languages sound weird to u because they're not commonly spoken, and sometimes they're not commonly spoken because a concerted effort was made in the past to eradicate them from existence. so. maybe not something to play into.

POV: mental health and financial struggles were the reasons why you had to quit your studies. You accidentally roll into a similar line of work to the work you were studying for and now your boss wants to pay for you to go back to uni to start studying again.

General University Tips

for those with ADHD and without.

there are these great series of pocket books called pocket study skills published by Palgrave Macmillan. They are 12 dollars AU and are just fantastic. Interestingly, the dyslexia guide book is fantastic for ADHD you’d think it was written for those with ADHD.

Another series is the very short introductions books published by Oxford University Press that cover a wide range of unit content. The one on globalization is great.
