OK - I will put my Mom hat on - sent the message bright and cheery.
This is so hard becuase it feels like she is trying to normalize everything which I don't want. I don't want to be her friend. I want to be her Wife. It feels like if I engage in friendly banter then she gets the friendship and I get the shaft.
Again, I feel like I am being forced along a death march and I have to be cheery about it. This feels so counterintuitive but I sent the message bright and cheery.
Again, what is with the sudden increase in the texts?
