Dear Dr Amaya,

Thank you for another timely insightful writing. Your experience with tour mother is so similar to mine....my mother suffered from mental illness and refused to seek treatment. She died last August...alone and estranged from her two remaining children.

My brother has helped me reconcile my guilt and sadness over our many failed attempts to have a normal loving relationship with our mother.

Thank you for sharing your story and your insight.....I appreciate you!

I am so grateful you shared your story with me. I found that as I was living my experience in real time, I just couldn’t find anyone who were in my shoes. After a while, I began to believe that I was the only one and it was a very lonely existence. I am continuing to discover a path to peace everyday and now I understand that I have choices to say no to the ego’s illusions to lure me into its wicked cage. It has taken me a very long time of wiping the soot off the windows to reveal light. After a while you just sort of believe all windows look like that. How others are is all on them and has nothing to do with me. This realization was life changing. Forgiveness is still a little challenging but I am doing it to release me so that I can be of better service to others. Have a wonderful Mother’s Day weekend. Sending you much love and peace. 🙌♥️
