      Waiting to have Thanksgiving dinner (leftovers) with my mother at Parkland Hospital. A lot of people doing the same. Line so long, you’d think it was a new In-N-Out Burger.

      Well, that was brief. I can only take about 40 minutes with mom because she was barking orders at me and the staff, cursing, eating with her fingers. She’s really far gone. I’ve had other relatives go out this way. I’m sure it’s even less fun for her.

      Happy Thanksgiving to anybody who doesn’t have parents around to enjoy it with, even from a distance. I always understood your situation intellectually, but now I really get it. Hits in a deep place. Almost beyond feeling.

      I had a moment a couple of days ago her mom called me by my brother’s name. When I talked to her I found out she thought I was my brother the entire time that day. I said “You know what this means, right mom?“ And she made a concerned face and said “Ohhhh.“ A lucid moment.

      It’s become clear to me and my brother in the last couple years that my mom has some deeper mental illness issues, and they have been present her whole life, that they were not as easy to see when she was younger. Now I worry it’s too late to diagnose them properly.

      It certainly explains a lot about some of the wrong turns she’s taken. She was undiagnosed because she didn’t want to know a diagnosis, and she self-medicated with drugs and alcohol. I wish somebody had caught that even if she wasn’t able to.

      I’m not angry at my mother anymore the unconscionable things she did throughout my life, because now I understand that there were demons in her that she never named. So I guess that’s sort of a happy ending. If only for her sons.

          Knowing stuff is like when someone takes the thorn out of the lion's paw. It was there, it made a hole, it's gone now.

          But you still need antiseptic cream so it heals completely. Don’t let it fester.

          I’m glad that, if nothing else, you’ve been granted a measure of grace, to be able to reconcile with so much of your history with your mom. And I’m so, so sorry that this horrible fucking year won’t give you a fucking break. You and your family deserve a spectacular 2021.

          For you. Make space for you. Forgive everyone and all of them. The best way you can and as many times as you need to. Forgive yourself too. Your healing matters too. It will altar the world forever. I’m praying peace and joy replace the suffering, Amen!
