When I first read Mark Jason Williams’s essay in the Modern Love submission inbox, I laughed, sighed and nodded.
His essay, “A Bet She Couldn’t Resist,” skillfully captures the well-intentioned but often overbearing love that mothers have for their children.
His essay also captures the urgent need that children have to be seen and accepted by their parental figure (even when those children are well into their 40s).
Find out how a $100 bet shifted Mr. Williams’s dynamic with his mother for the better.
