George Washington had Mommy issues?
George Washington was the most mommy issues bitch out there
#not a lot is known about mary ball washington and their relationship has been interpreted in a lot of ways#but most agree that she was a very controlling and overprotective mother which put a lot of strain on their relationship#didn't help that she mostly focused on him as the eldest son and demanded a lot from him even in adulthood#to my understanding he usually gave in and treated her with respect but not affection. he addressed her as 'honored madame'#or something like that. not mother#it's also not clear how much correspondence was lost to history but an amazing tidbit from the first chapter of mary ball washington#was that it was previously claimed that gwash didn't write his mother at all throughout the revolutionary war#but ACTUALLY. he wrote to her at least ONCE (1). incredible#ask
