My mom was the only one that really kind of gave me the space, you know what I mean. Everyone else was, I felt, so judgmental about how I handled things, and she’s, she’s my mom, she got it. She was like, “I, you know, I’m going to give you the space, and I get it that you are looking at me and just don’t even know what you’re looking at right now. I don’t look anything like you’re used to seeing me.” She was, you know, she was the most helpful for me. There was no one else, there was no one else I remember every coming, and sitting, and talking to me, and telling me any thing I related to. She was the only one who sort of understood, I felt that understood me, and understood why I was reacting the way that I did—because she’s my mom.
