They were my truth and they were my truth to myself. And I owe those words to myself.

You know, when those words were said, they were so hard as a mother because I thought I was doing and tried to do everything that a mother thinks they're supposed to do.

I think I can realize how important now the idea of doing for your children, like all the things we do for our children in their daily lives, from everything, from whatever it is, from packing the lunch, to signing the report card, to getting them to practice. Those are the doings.

We get, I know I can get so caught up in the daily lives of just getting them to and from places that sometimes the being and the being with them can get lost.

And I look back at that time and while those words were so hard for me to hear and actually so difficult for me to write, to even write, to write those words down, I realized what a gift, what a gift those words were that my daughter and my daughters could be a reflection to me to say, mom, you know, where are you? And I love you.

I want you to participate in our relationship in a way that maybe that I wasn't. And I think what's so powerful about that is she was seeing something and able to share with me, which meant we already had a relationship, a close relationship. but to call me out and say, mom, I want you to see me in a different way.

And I think that being so close to, I couldn't step outside of what had happened to me to actually really recognize why I had that wall up. And so, I mean, my children are my teachers, but in this moment, for sure.

Well, I think the MDMA piece is really interesting because one of the things I've worked really hard to make sure that I accept is the idea that the MDMA was only one very small part of what was going on in my life. And yet, I think it was very crucial in terms of the timing.

But I've worked really hard also, and I talk about that in the writing, the idea that in the timing, in the place where I'd gotten to in my life was a place where I thought, things were really lining up such that I was coming to a place of being able to be honest with myself about the memories.

And it's not to say that none of the memories weren't there, but the ability of my brain anyway, I am not a scientist in any way, shape, or form, but my individual story, I knew I had tucked the fabric of my life in the back of my brain in many instances, and pieces were starting to come forward. And then I would tuck it back in.
