Unexpected

Mom, I know in recent years we've tried more to hurt each other less. It's taken a long time to get here. And I cherish that strength as much as I despise the lack of it. I don't want to go backwards. I don't want to reopen the wounds, or refresh the pain. But in life, no roads are as straight and narrow as you'd like them to be, and sometimes you have to take a step back in order to move forward. And it is in that uncertain hope that I'm cracking open this can of bloody worms.
