My mother was ignored for years, which made her guarded, contradictory, and overly sensitive. She wanted gifts but pretended to refuse them, wanted to travel but stubbornly declined, and later complained sarcastically. I repeatedly encouraged her to express her needs honestly, but she could never let go of her so-called modesty. She even sabotaged one of my work orders out of jealousy. When she experienced chest pain and went to the hospital, she still hesitated to disclose her symptoms. I finally lost patience and took her to a cemetery to make her face reality. She was subsequently diagnosed with breast cancer, and the ordeal finally brought her to her senses. She began expressing her feelings openly. Our family also confronted its problems and reconciled. In the end, she let go of her resentment, and we rediscovered the warmth of family.
