On Mother's Day Facebook showed me an "on this day" photo from 2015 and I had this sympathetic heart twist for my old self, like I was watching a movie with a sad character. The picture showed a nice cake and half full tea cups in the background but front and center was my gift, in a used cardboard box marked "trash". I remember trying to treat it like a funny joke but, with hindsight, it was a giant, brutal red flag about how my ex thought of me.
