A fragile balance in which every word is carefully measured before being said, an emotional charge that has the instability and fear of walking on eggshells.

My mother always cared too much about "what the world says" and, in particular, what our relatives will say.

Compared to her, I never cared and maybe this is where most of the differences of opinion between the two of us started.

Over the years, these differences have become more pronounced, but we have somehow learned to avoid them when we talk to each other.

My mother always returned to her roots

 I uprooted most of them when I left Romania.
