Leaving MOMMY

I inhabited a woman who brought me to the dark side for 6 weeks.  It was painful and uncomfortable.  I forced myself to feel her pain, desperation, and anger.  It's taking me some time to shed her skin.  Was it fun?  No.  Was it rewarding? Yes.  Did I help people  further understand how complex the human condition is?  I hope so.  Did I help people understand that motherhood can be very complex and dark?  Did I help people see that you can really screw up as a mother?  This is what I wanted to achieve.

If you spend your life living with dark characters who regularly bring you to your pain and wounds then heroin may be a choice of relief.  I get that.  I will miss you Philip Seymour Hoffman, terribly.
