I knew at that moment, and it was a stark flash, you know, those snapshots you have that you capture and they're always with you the rest of your life.
And I have that snapshot of me in that moment.
And I thought, I'm the only one to protect me.
Can you recount this story?
I was eight, and I went to camp, and I was not very happy there.
I mean, a lot of children go to camp and have this, but mine was kind of acute, and my mother promised she would come, and she didn't.
This was not horrendous child neglect or anything of that sort.
My parents were perfectly nice.
They just were clueless about children.
They'd never been parented.
Their parents had never been parented.
And so they had no vocabulary for it.
And so she wasn't really there to protect me.
I think it's in biology.
