My mother and I parting company at four years old is a recurring theme; although it's not symbolically necessarily present, it's present in all my relationships.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Love's a recurring theme through my work.
Family tends to be one of the recurring themes in my fiction.
There is a common theme, though, in the stories I have told, which are usually associations of characters or families that are formed outside of a family circle.
A loving mother-son relationship is always a plot or outwitting of some kind. 'Don't tell anyone, but...' my mother was always saying to me - when I wasn't saying it to her.
My mother has always been the social glue holding the family together.
My relationship with my mom is really the single most profound relationship that I've ever had in my life.
My mother and I split ways when I was very young and have never really reconciled.
My mother, whom I love dearly, has continually revised my life story within the context of a complicated family history that includes more than the usual share of divorce, step-children, dysfunction, and obfuscation. I've spent most of my adult life attempting to deconstruct that history and separate fact from fiction.
I've been working on my relationship with my parents and my sister over the years.
My mom has gone out of her way in her personal life. She's been with me on the road. She's had to deal with people giving her the 'that's the mom' and arguing. Just little things as a businesswoman.
