A small victory

I just wanted to let you guys know that after 17 years I was finally able to talk to my mother about the event that triggered my depression, anxiety, and all my other issues. Instead of feeling mad or disappointed at me, she was absolutely supportive and told me how much she loved me and cared for me.

This is a small victory, because I still have A LOT of things to work on, but it feels so good I just wanted to share it with you guys. I feel like you understand me more tan anybody else.

Thank you for the support, I hope I can have more small victories like this one!

It was BY FAR the hardest thing I've had to do, but it was so rewarding knowing my mother doesn't hate me for what happened to me, and neither should I hate myself for it
