A text message exchange where a mother complains about not being acknowledged on Mother's Day. Her child responds, explaining that the mother hasn't been acting like a mother and needs to stay sober for herself, not for them.

Continuing the text conversation, the child emphasizes the mother's need for self-driven sobriety and expresses being tired of being blamed. The mother responds with disbelief, and the child reiterates their exhaustion and the mother's responsibility.

The child tells the mother she won't be invited to the wedding until she acts like a mother. The mother expresses confusion, and the child explains she needs to learn to be a parent or the relationship cannot continue.
