A stream of conscious meandering psychoanalysis of Bechdel that mostly focuses on her relationship with her mother and healing. I found it hit a little too close to home for me and my own complicated relationship with my mother and mental health. Though I wish there was more commentary on the psychologist she references rather than just inserting quotes from them.

An interesting deep dive into Bechdel’s relationship with her mother. I think it was a bit too cerebral for me, but I also felt like that was the point; Bechdel attempts to think her way through their relationship rather than feel her way through it, which I think I would have preferred. Still, I always love her art style and raw vulnerability.
