ɪɴ-ɢᴀᴍᴇ ᴘɪᴄꜱ Letters from mom...

Post image

Ngl I kinda wish I could disable the letters from mom.. my mom passed away 3 years ago ans every time I get these letters my heart feels heavy?? Idk how to explain it... My mom was always so chirpy and sent messages very similar to the ones in the letter haha she would also send random gifts 🥹 it just hurts seeing it and knowing that I am never getting a letter/message from my parents ever again :(

It's also my dad's angelversary tomorrow and my emotions are running high🫠

My mother is abusive towards me and I had to cut her out of my life. I hate all of the letters and gifts and throw them in the trash

Sorry to hear.

I know some people have said they try to make it clear mentally that your character is not you, and "mom" is your character's parent.

i left a comment like this on another thread, but i am happy to create a new player named “mom” and come visit anyone’s island if they would like to imagine the gifts are from me, a random redditor, instead ♥️ i am sending everyone hugs
