Beautifully written, Liberty. My heart aches for both of you, but especially for you because she could have broken the toxic chains, instead of wrapping them around herself even more as the years went by. I don't know if she would have had the foresight to look inward, but I do know you have the generosity and humanity to love despite all she tried to do. 🙏🏾

You've broken the chains. Good on you, my friend.
