Congrats for you!
I have an awkward relationship with my mother, so it is hard for me to talk to her, and I go a while without speaking with her sometimes. Sometimes I feel like you- and think that my mom thinks what I'm talking about is stupid. But maybe that's just my BPD! (probably)
I'm proud of you though. You're making great strides and you should treat yourself! Have a big chocolate chip cookie or something!
