The closest I come to writing about my mother is the occasional post about why I don't celebrate Mother's Day.

When I worked at public schools, I met some who I felt should have never been around anybody under 18. Toxic and destructive and kids always think it’s them. I saw some even turn into copies of those same parents, usually by around 11th grade. Sad and shocking to me, but probably would not have been to Freud.

Oh TC. Hahahahahaha. That is one of the funniest sad things ever written. I just love you.

So where did you get your mothering? For the man you are, it had to come from somewhere.

From my grandmothers. And from the women I've been fortunate to know.
