I still think I may be trying to convince myself I am not my mother. Who was a very scary woman.
My favorite teacher took me to RI in tenth grade to see RISD. Years later I went to NYC and had lunch with her and thanked her. She said my mom was one of the scariest women she'd ever met.
Robert Bly in IRON JOHN says we have to make a room for the good father and the bad father in our "house".
It's a long journey. I am 55 and I am just beginning to understand that maybe I am NOT her.
This stuff runs DEEP.
God gave us a Great Mayor Lisa-Baldelli hunt, a State trooper and Herson Gonzalez and Father Dennis and Joe Garlick---we can make this neighborhood sing!
