So one of the things that has been a weight on my shoulder has been the debt I accumulated over my psychotic years when I thought I shouldn’t pay any bills because as god I was entitled to everything free.
My mom, who knows that I have issues with my anxiety over it, and because she got some good money from my grandfather in his will, offered to pay for my debt.
I don’t even know how to thank her. I have that feeling that I should’ve worked for it, but still, it’s such an amazing gesture, isn’t it?
We had such a terrible relationship before, I can’t even believe that she changed so much, but well so have I and I’m a better daughter too.
So, I’m starting the new year debt free and it’s such a relief.
That is awesome! Be sure to show your mom you are grateful and then you don’t have to feel like you have to pay her back in some way. As your mom she probably just wants you to be grateful, happy and responsible.
Also very great that you have a better relationship with each other now.
I gave her a huge hug and offered to make a good dinner tonight. I might get her a present with the left over money I have. I found 100€ stashed from last years christmas that I forgot I had, I might get her something nice.
I don’t know if you can or should make up for that… I think it’s probably good enough that you have changed. I am not very good at showing gratefulness to my parents, I just try to smile often of say thank you when I get things.
