Book cover for Down the Drain
When the clock struck midnight and she still hadn’t returned, I’d frantically dial her cell number on the old rotary phone until she picked up, just to hear her voice and make sure she was alive.

“Sickness feels different when it takes place inside your head,”
Genevieve Wheeler, Adelaide

“At this point tears begin to fall from my eyes, not because I am sad or angry, but because I have never had these dueling aspects of my personality mirrored back to me in such a matter-of-fact way. I have, at so many times in my life, felt unknowable, but here I am having me explained to me as it feels to be me. One three-hour test and I finally have objective words to demystify a tumultuous and ambivalent life experience. “We will leave it here, but I have one last thing I would like to say. The Rorschach and image testing reveal evidence of trauma associated with very early childhood development. I see a preoccupation with blood, morbidity, dismissal, and power struggles. There is a way in which you present as very sturdy to the world, yet inside you are carrying an incredibly heavy weight. There is a you inside who feels invisible to those looking at you from the outside. I feel an incredible amount of compassion for how hard each day feels for you.” “Thank you,” I say, my voice quiet and quivering with emotion. “I really appreciate this.” “Yes,” he says, “I believe you really do.”

“Criticism is still a cousin of attention.”

“Parents can be our greatest allies, they can fiercely love us, but they can also be the cause of our trauma.”
Anna Marie Tendler, Men Have Called Her Crazy: A Memoir

“You could fall asleep spooning her and wake up with a screwdriver pressed to your throat.”
Ruth Madievsky, All-Night Pharmacy
