Although I understood, it was not until years later that I recognized my vomit encompassed certain people, unhealthy relationships, and patterns of destructive behaviors. My mother's words of wisdom continued to resonate with me during tumultuous times, especially when faced with that familiar moment of, "Do I stay, or do I go?"
