Since I turned 18, my life had become very low contact with each of my parents and my sister (she more collateral damage by being younger and still living with them). For nearly a decade now, I would only talk to my parents a couple times a month. Since the pandemic hit, I’ve been calling each one everyday to check in on them. I could never forgive myself if I didn’t reach out no matter the past. It has definitely brought my mother and I back together again, life is so short and we have only one blood family. I don’t think I could even try to hold a grudge in this moment, it’s not worth it.
