About this episode
In today's solo episode, I chat about a 3 day weekend I had my family and extended family.
By the time it was over, I had some body discomfort and I couldn't figure out why. The weekend had gone fairly well but I did hold back from saying a few things to my mom. Whenever I do express frustration or anger, it almost ALWAYS becomes about her.
The weekend I attended was a special occasion and I didn't want to get into an argument with her so I kept my feelings to myself...only to feel physically ill by the end of the weekend for the amount of bottled-up emotions I had.
