My Mom & Me on Divorce, Dementia, and Our First Christmas Together in a Decade

My mom is visiting for Christmas for the first time in nearly ten years, and we sat down to talk about everything we usually don’t say out loud. We talk about how she experienced my separation and the restraining order from far away, what it was like watching her daughter go through something so public and painful, and how she coped at home while caring for her husband, who is living with dementia. This conversation is about motherhood, distance, grief, resilience, and love and what it means to keep going when life doesn’t look anything like you imagined. I hope this episode makes you feel less alone.
