We reminisced of things best forgotten

05-10-03 - 10:34 p.m.

We talked of things past.

I asked her if she could remember what I could not...

and she could.

She remembered words and bruises and ripped-out hair and all of the stories.

Most of all, she said, she remembered me. And she remembered the way that it all changed me. And she remembers being worried and being afraid.

I thought it was bad to forget.

I thought it best to uncover what had been lost from my memory.

I'm not so sure that I agree with myself now.

Andrea and I had a good night... but we talked about the past... about the difficult times with my parents.

It came up b/c today my mom said that she knew that they at least bordered on abusive at times. Then she proceeded to explain that I don't know what it was like and that she hopes I have a child like me someday and she'd like to see how I'll parent. I'd like to think that I will have learned what not to do, from their bad examples and only cling to the good parts when it comes to following their lead.
