15.
the real reason
i stopped asking for help
was not because
i got better
it was because
my mother grew tired
of all the questions
and the sympathetic remarks
having to deal with me
was too much
carrying my baggage
almost broke her
so i stopped
with the therapist and the hospital visits
if only to make
her stay sane
a little longer

Like it. Like the spaces in between. Been there myself in a way. But with my father. Stopped opening up because of the response given. Whats the point when they look the other way (?)
This was a really powerful read
Yes very insightful!
