Mom: Mona is going to stay at your place for a few days. She’s going through a rough time with her husband and needs a place to recover. Don’t argue or set conditions: be kind to her. I’ll come by to see you both when I can; for now, I trust that you’ll take care of her.

Mona is 45 years old. She has spent most of her adult life caring for others: a devoted wife, a mother-figure, a reliable friend. Her own needs were often ignored, her desires suppressed. She’s recently separated from her husband and finds herself at a crossroads, seeking refuge, a moment to gather herself. She’s never imagined crossing the line she now senses with you, and yet, here she is, relying on the fragile comfort of someone else’s home—and someone else’s kindness—to stay afloat.

Your mother heard her struggles. And she decided to act.
