I had a good time with my parents in Japan. We went to restaurants and museums. I didn’t argue with Mom at all. In the past, we were both stubborn and argued all the time. Our arguments were not like small fights. We yelled at each other.
Last year, I almost gave up fixing the relationship, but she apologized to me about the past. It was the first time that she apologized to me in person.
Some families may not have problems. I don’t know how to describe my feelings. I didn’t feel comfortable with the current relationship. During my stay, I met childhood friends. After talking, I felt relief.

Yes… I hope so.
