Must Discuss

So…. Mariah and Meri talking on the deck. THEY need counseling. It’s so unhealthy for both of them. My perspective is that Meri did have expectations for Mariah’s life - as any parent does- but the hugest reason she felt that she couldn’t react to Mariah’s news of coming out is because they don’t have a relationship at all. It’s one problem piling on top of another. However- Mariah needs to be sensitive to how her mom feels about the reveal. She is being defensive - which is understandable given the situation as many people go through this when they come out- but there is no need to be defensive with Meri. Mariah’s anger about the catfish situation is behind her defensiveness. Huge issue here is at this point it’s has been a year since the catfish deal and Mariah is not wanting to talk about her feelings, therefore their relationship remains strained, causing a cascade of problems and ongoing stress. Mariah needs to buck up and talk about this catfish bit and get over herself. People make mistakes and need to be forgiven. To fully understand her mother and the crummy relationship her mother has had with Kody for 12 years is needed to understand Meri’s mindset with seeking out a friendship and companionship in her life. Mariah needs to understand that she too could be in this situation in her life - as anyone can be- and she too would want to be forgiven. She is not being fair to her mother. Thoughts?
