34. Sit down with pen & paper and write Mom a letter

Rant like you did here and more, get everything off your chest and onto paper, wait one or two days
in case you need to add anything else, then put it in an envelope, seal it and write "I still Love You"
on it and file it away somewhere. You'll feel better having said things and you'll not shorten their
lives by receiving it. Been there done that.
