When I became a mother, I realized my childhood could influence the kind of mother I would be to my son. The stakes had become higher. I had to find a way to address painful parts of my adolescence to release my son from the legacy of my burdens.
It led me to question: If I imagined what it was like to live my mother’s childhood, would I truly get to know my mother? Would I see my own life more clearly?
Perhaps in reliving my mother’s story, I would reveal something about myself. Then I could be set free from the pain of the past, and so could she.
The nagging questions led to a single pursuit: to understand how my mother’s experience lay at the root of what happened to me when I was young.
This story is about why my mother’s life should be written and shared.
It is also a story about why I was meant to write it for her.
