I am so sorry about your mom. Women were under tremendous pressure in the 50's,60's, 70's and 80's- not all are cut out to be homemakers and breeders and society was brutal about women who chose the "wrong" options or who couldn't hack the "right" ones- and it was even worse for women like your mom who were supposed to do it all alone (like that fucking Enjoli commercial from the 80's)

My adoptive mom worked and should never have tried to raise a child- but she got so much pressure she did. It drove her more mental then she already was. While we haven't accepted mental illness as disease the way we should, the narratives are a lot kinder now. We're heading in the correct direction.
