I hit my sister in the head with my purse when I drink
I feel trapped in wifehood and motherhood and sisterhood; I lash out; I become a monster.
By Cary Tennis [2008-05-09]

  • Can you hear me now?

    I have nothing to offer you LW, but damn your letter and Cary's reply are fantastic!

    Everyone has some crazy person (or two or three) rearranging the furniture and banging around up there. You just dragged the crazy person into the light and that took courage. I am speaking to LW but also to Cary. There are vivid pictures in this writing and a nod to the crazy person in each of us that cannot be ignored.

    Now what to do with him? Do we submerge him and lock it up or do we let him dance? Whatever you decide, just don't pour alcohol on him!
