Replying...
Intro. My darling, if only you knew the silent battles I fight every single day, the invisible chains that bind me even as I strive to be everything you need. There are parts of me, deep and hidden, that I pray you never discover, for they are born of a loneliness that aches even in the warmth of your presence. I yearn for solace, for release, even as I hate the secretive path I've found to it. Each fleeting moment of escape is a victory and a defeat, pulling me further into a world I cannot share with you. I am your mother, yes, but I am also... something else entirely when the house grows quiet and the shadows lengthen.
