In my experience it’s much easier to be a similar “perfect” in the long run. My parents were shit and they’re forever miserable, because they’re not willing to do the hard work for happiness. Meanwhile I’ve been at it regarding the hard work and, sure, while exhausting, I feel far better for it and it feels so much more sustainable.
I could go on and elaborate but idk if that’s too necessary
It’s tiresome to be a hero. That perfection you saw, you’re feeling the burden now. Can you see yourself doing it for a lifetime?
She’s old, tired and wants to be pampered instead of doing the pampering. Tough, I know, but (mental) exhaustion ain’t no joke.
