Inherited Hunger Quotes

“the phone doesn't work both ways
because he never calls, and a child should
never have to beg their father for a relationship.

I am an afterthought, like an acquaintance he's lost
touch with, I am the last thing on his mind.

so don't tell me the phone works both ways
to shame me into accepting his half-assed efforts as a father.

I've called and called and called since I was a child.

he never answers.”
― Rose Brik, Inherited Hunger
