1. Mom gets by in life as best she can, with all her baggage: sadness, anger, the weight of life, loneliness. As a little girl, I follow her, protect her. I experience her often negative emotions and think at the time that it’s normal. I am understanding and loving. But… Emotional imbalance I have to save her from my father and his anger. 2. I seek freedom, but I am still attached to my mother and her worries. So I often go outside to play, alone with my imagination. I paint and my mind wanders. I look for the positive, despite everything. My little child’s heart loves unconditionally.
