#this is why im like super enthusiastic about the idea of feminist lit being used in therapy

one way reading feminist literature changed my life for the better is it unironically helped my relationship with my mother so much. i was going to go into more detail but it’s probably a bit too personal for a public tumblr account lol but it really put a lot of things in perspective for me, and also gave me things i could bond with my mum over. some of the things she’s done can never be undone and our relationship is still very strained at times, but now i can approach it with a lot more understanding and maturity. and while part of this can just be credited to me growing up, i truly believe that without reading feminist literature that i would not have made this much progresss
