I don't talk to my family anymore, but I keep feeling bad about not giving my mother specifically more of a chance. She's part of a really abusive patriarchal relationship, so I have a lot of empathy for her on that level. The way that manifests usually is that I kinda wanna give her a call at some point maybe, but I always feel woefully underprepared for the evangelical flavoured queerphobic talking points she's so ready to throw out at me (last time we called she was trying to convince me to join conversion therapy). So to perhaps prepare for that on some level, this morning I was doing a bit of reading on my childhood church and it just fucked me up so hard. I'm such an anxious triggered mess now and feel like I ruined my whole day, all for the supposed benefit of someone who doesn't actually give a shit about me....
