“I grew up in a family where my parent's emotions,
or lack of, were more important than my own.”
― My Father's Eyes, My Mother's Rage
or lack of, were more important than my own.”
― My Father's Eyes, My Mother's Rage
“when your mother is your first heartbreak, no love will ever fill the void of feeling so unloved by her.”
― My Father's Eyes, My Mother's Rage
― My Father's Eyes, My Mother's Rage
“my mother didn't want to hurt me,
but she was broken.
her brokenness cut into me
and made me bleed.
she didn't know how to love,
or at least how to love me.
it didn't even matter that she hurt me;
I just wanted her to be sorry.
she said that she loved me,
but it often felt like hate.
when I finally had enough and tried to be free,
she looked at me with desperation and cried,
"you are abandoning me!"
so, I stayed and I suffered,
and I did my best to love her.
as a woman, I have so much empathy
for my mother, but as a daughter, I have so much anger.”
