Disappearing Mom

When Mom married Tom Weaver, she changed. It was subtle enough, and I was young enough, that I didn't notice as it was happening.
Then she and Tom Weaver divorced and suddenly, she was my Mommy again. I hadn't seen, or even remembered her, since I was eight years old, but I recognized her. She was doing things that she wanted to do. Things that she cared about. Not the things that were expected of her or wanted from her. What she wanted and enjoyed.
The she met Tom Egan, and Mommy disappeared again. I haven't seen her since.
