“ i rolled up to my moms house and we sat on opposite couches and she asked me how i was doing.
i said fine.
she said, “no, i mean are you doing okay? when i dont see you for long periods of time i get worried about you. it usually means you’re depressed and when i ask you if you’re depressed you always just say that you’re fine.”
i looked up and away and said, “im fine.”
but what am i supposed to say? “hi mom, i just wrote about the time i was molested in the back room of a funeral home while you were on the other side of the wall burying your father and son?
