Quote

I feel bad that I never discussed my mother's life and times as a career woman with her.

I never experienced any feelings of closeness and caring from my parents.

I would never put my job before my family.

I never wanted to rely on my family for money.

I never felt like I had a mother.

I never turned down a mother role.

My father's sister never married in order to raise me.

There's never been a parent in my life.

I don't think that much about my relationship with my mother and what it did to me. I sometimes feel terrible regret about her, what her life must have been like. Often, when I'm enjoying something, I think of how meager her rewards were and how much courage, in a way, she needed to go on living.

My father never talked about the sacrifices that the family made for me.
