I think an entire generation of mothers lost it a bit. I blame patriarchy, of course, it's easy to do so. But at what level do we start holding people accountable? Sorry... Mother talk is always hard for me but thanks for writing this. It takes a lot to allow oneself to admit their mother is/was shitty. But for me, it was an important step to healing, so there's that.
I am loving all your Subby pieces. This one is so good. I respect and admire - more than I can say - how truthful and messy you allow yourself to be on the page. It gives me something important to aspire to. As always, thank you Carley.
I admire, always, the volumes you can express in your short pieces. I’m whispering into little girl Carley’s ear: I love you. You are safe and loved unconditionally. Grown-up Carley’s got this!
Here for you your unfurling rage. Also clocking her assuming telephone intimacy and then blocking via same. Proud of you for all of this and grateful for this breezy read about this (maybe) mother (lol) of all griefs.
