Right, your time is up! It has been a month since your last post and we’re all pining away desperate to read another. Of course, you might have gone down with this ‘virus-thingie’ – although I doubt it would have the nerve to infect you! – so I am sorry if it has. Even so, your adoring public waits patiently . . .

I am a single dad raising a 11 yo girl. Your posting moved me. It brought me to tears. No one should’ve to go through what you did. But since you mentioned that your grandmother was somewhat similar to your mother I wonder if they weren’t bad moms but moms with bad genes. This could be hereditary. But girls have only a 50/50 chance of inheriting their mother’s traits. Even then, being a girl you have a spare X and this mutation may be recessive. Seems like you’re a mom. I hope you have a girl too.

Please post something new soon. It’s heartbreaking to see that handwriting. Can’t imagine what you’ve been through.

And now: we need a hideous denim update. I think evidence is emerging that there’s a direct correlation between the rise of hideous denim and the decline of organized human existence.

Hannah – If you needed this, I’m glad to provide it. But I’m sorry about what you experienced with your mother. Your self-awareness will inform your mothering, and I believe it’s within your power to end the cycle of abuse in your family. Please keep me posted on the birth of your baby!!!!xoxo

Suspended – I know. I remember how overwhelming some of the comments were. But it shows how much people need to talk about this, instead of feeling shamed into silence. If you think you’re the only one, it’s a tougher cross to bear, right?

It’s going to take me a while to recover from those comments on the older thread. My word! My mum is crazy, no doubt, but some definitely have it much worse.

As my 6th Mothers’ Day post-mothered and on the verge of motherhood myself, this is the post I didn’t know I needed. My mother, like yours, was crazy. Nobody thought to explain it to me why my mother sometimes hallucinated things that weren’t there, beat me because she had paranoid delusions, or would often scream that I was worthless, a slut, and stupid.
For me, I know I have the self-awareness to know when I’m feeling poorly, and I will do my best to explain it to my baby someday. My worst fear is becoming the woman who terrified me for most of my life. I just want to be a good mother, as most good mothers want to be.

I am stunned by the recognition of my own mother. Your experience sounds virtually identical to mine, only when I was 37 my mother was way too far gone to organize a hate-mail campaign. The shrieking, the vacant desolation and the late night police visits to remove my “manic depressive” mother from our home. I remember being so shocked to hear my teenage friends discussing how angry they were with their mothers for this or that. Inconceivable! What a luxury, to be able to be angry with someone!
I envy your wisdom and generosity, and you sound like an amazing mother. Happy Mother’s Day to you.

I’ve a Granddaughter Sister Wolf you ought/might appreciate who ‘Thanks you’ very much.

It was a difficult time for me, not that I was ‘uninterested’ no, no not that at all. What it was was, I didn’t have a clue to ‘the how’ – you helped me and everything’s turned out pretty good. I told her some years ago she had ‘a fairy godmother’ who, although she called “Bullshit” regardless was and is aware “You” are out there.

Everyone deserves a “You.”

That ‘everyone’ doesn’t is a goddamn shame.

I Love You Sister Wolf. Always will.
