I like the way you compare your family as the root of a tree that provide love and support because there's a unique bond and love within your family, particularly towards your mother.

Am happy to know that your mother is the reason our family is unique, as she has always been a friend rather than a strict mother to everyone since you were young. Despite not being very social, she knew you needed laughter and friendship. She sacrificed her ego and position as a mother to be a friend to everyone in the family Even in arguments, you respect her because of her love and strength. This kind of mother need to be celebrated. good luck @shruti16
