“but my mother’s confessions were proof that I, at least, could handle much more.”
No. You are a child. Parents should not land their issues/dark confessions on their innocent children. I don’t fucking understand this logic and never will.

“I love you past the sun and the moon and the stars,” she’d always say to me when I was little. But I just want her to love me here. Now. On Earth.

"I miss what we had when I was a kid, but I’m not a kid anymore, and I will never be again. And that the thing that keeps me from tackling parenthood with eagerness is not, really, money or ambition or hypochondria or selfishness. Rather, it’s the fear that I’ve learned less from my childhood than I should have, that I am more like [my mother] than I want to be."
well you didn't need to attack me like that!!

I am really taking my time with this one. Some of the essays are heavy, and, as it always is with anthologies, not every piece is my cup of tea. Still, I appreciate these and the general theme. I will finish it someday, certainly!

This book is so difficult for me to read, but I'm glad to read other people's stories of things that are so steeped in familial silence and know I'm not alone.
