I will be leaving for a week of camping with our family tomorrow, so I expect this will be our last post for at least that long.

In resent days we have had some significant insights into our life with FOO (family of origin). It seems I need to focus on unresolved issues with my mother. This is very hard for me/us. We have grieved long and hard for my mother ever since she died of cancer many years ago. In the past we have focused on our grief over her death and the repercussion that had on our life, but we have never focused on grief and pain from our life with her – at least not in depth. Single incidents here and there have been talked about in therapy but not in depth, especially not about the unhealthy bond between my mother and me.

I’ll write more about this in future posts.
