I don't know how you do it, Teddy.
Every year, they're better than the last.
Do you think about having children?
I get 30 new children every year.
So many expectations around being a woman, being a mother.
That's the only photo Teddy's father ever took with him.
He tried to distance himself as much as possible.
I couldn't give him the son he wanted, either.
We were more alone when he was here than after he was gone.
There's nothing that can hurt me anymore.
Jack, my husband, blamed me just like the doctors did.
He said I babied Teddy too much and that he needed to start acting like a normal kid or else... I was afraid Jack might hurt him, especially after he'd been drinking.
One day, Teddy woke from a nap screaming.
