An emotional and insightful read. So many complex thoughts around mothers, motherhood, and what we owe to our mothers in being alive. I liked some essays more than others (Carmen Maria Machado and Brandon Taylor are my standouts again!! They keep doing collections together and it should definitely stay that way). A strong collection and such an intriguing theme binding these all together.
Graphic: Child abuse, Emotional abuse, Physical abuse, and Self harm
Moderate: Suicidal thoughts
