The Slowest Self-Therapy in the World
by Karen Stromberg
|
I'm almost 70
and just figured out
that having insufficient parenting (his)
is not worth bitching about.
It's worth one single moment of blinding sadness:
what I missed,
(without the details)
what he missed
(without the details).
I thank him for the harm
he didn't do.
(And) I'm done.
