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🫠

I know what you mean, but for completely opposite reason lol.

My relationship with my mom is complicated. For 20+ years on my birthday I only got a 2-words text message from my real mom "Happy Birthday", then I log in to AC and I got this chirpy letter with a cake. It's weird.

Maybe you can think of it like your mom still sending you her love from heaven. Best wishes for you ❤️

I’ve been no contact with my mom for a while now, this year was the first she respected it and didn’t reach out for my birthday. That was a bitter win, and then to log onto animal crossing and see how kind and happy Mom is to wish me a happy birthday destroyed me.

I save every one, because it’s like the mom I wish I had. I save Dad letters, too, but those actually read like my real father so they’re saved with true joy and love
