My commitment was to taking new and different approaches. The key to making this happen was for me to stay open to recognizing all of the opportunities I had in my relationship with my mum, to do things differently.
What I came to see, was that I had not allowed myself to be a daughter to my mum. I had been the parent or protector. Our relationship had been one of seriousness and practicality, rather than fun, laughter, and filled with an abundance of happiness.
