Toxic mothers, toxic family, family estrangement, secrets and lies

Vanessa grew up in the perfect ‘cookie cutter’ home. She seemingly had everything a child could want or need, surrounded by material comforts and picture-perfect family gatherings. 

Yet, beneath this façade lay a lack of true emotional connection. Despite the lavish gifts and meticulously organized family events, Vanessa felt a profound loneliness and disconnect.

As Vanessa matured, she noticed her mother's behavior becoming increasingly erratic and emotionally charged. There was confusion and isolation. Secrets were carefully guarded, and anything that didn’t fit the perfectly curated family image was swept under the carpet. However, Vanessa’s mother was holding a secret that would eventually unravel this fragile mother-daughter relationship.
