Ethan
This is all really unexpected. I don't know how to feel. A part of me does want to bond. I feel cheated out of a mother kind relationship experience.

Another part of me is still hurt she left me. She could've at least taken me with her.

Deep down though, she's still my mom. Maybe I should try connecting with her...
