My advice is maybe try not to look at it as such a complicated thing. As you know, what happened in the past doesn’t matter at all. If there are specific memories that still really bother you, try revision on them. What your mother said was hurtful, but just remember she doesn’t understand LOA. It’s better to keep things involving this to yourself for that reason. If you can imagine being in a relationship with him, that means it exists. Everything you can imagine exists and can be made manifest. Of course you have the option to believe it doesn’t exist, is really hard to obtain, or even impossible, but it will still go on existing elsewhere in consciousness as one of the possibilities for you to experience if you choose to connect with it and manifest it. Just focus on having that relationship right now. What would it look like? Feel like? There’s nothing else to worry about. When you’re convinced it’s yours, everything else works itself out.
