The Myth of the Good Mother, Part 2: Living the Repair in Real Time

📝 In Part Two of The Myth of the Good Mother, Joi Sun continues her raw and honest exploration of mother-daughter healing—not from a distance, but from within the shared space of daily life. After speaking the unspeakable in Part One, this chapter holds the harder truth: how do you continue showing up, caring for someone who wounded you, while still telling the truth? This episode is not about blame.
It’s about reclamation. Joi lives with her mother now. She helps her navigate memory loss. She is building a new legacy—one that does not require silence to maintain love.
This is what it looks like to break the cycle… without walking away. Trigger Warning: This episode includes discussion of generational trauma, emotional containment, and caregiving within complex family relationships. Please listen with care.
