But my actual lived experience was of my mother's profound devotion to me.

Because, you know, most people have to share their mothers with the world.

You know, their moms have partners and jobs and other kids and friends.

And every time I saw my mother, all she was doing was giving me attention.

I was her whole world.

And so I didn't have the feeling of

of being abandoned by my mother in my kind of conscious reality.

I'm sure something in me did feel fundamentally abandoned in life.

I think I've always felt somewhat precarious, but I didn't feel abandoned by my mother and I because her love for me was so present, it was never

confusing to me why she'd had a child.

I could see how much she wanted a child.

I could see how much she loved me.

And I was also, you know, if you're raised in a women's maximum security facility, you're raised around

Women who are perpetually being demothered, whose mothering is being disrespected.

And I've never wanted to imply that my mother was less of a mother to me because she had other commitments.

My experience is not that she's less of a mother.

I think she's an incredible mother.

I think

she figured out how to mother me in some of the most difficult conditions possible.

Um and so I think because I've never felt like I had a second class mothering experience
