the other women.

it occurred to me today, in the midst of feeling like half a grown up and thinking about a conversation i had with my aunt last weekend, that my grandmother and aunt have been my mother for 16 years now. and i've very, very lucky. they are such beautiful amazing women.

no wonder my mother was always jealous of them. she used to call and harass them about trying to take her daughter away from her.

i still can't understand how she couldn't figure out it was always her behavior that caused the rift. it will always be her.
