Telarañas: Untangling My Pain

This is an exorcism, a purging exercise that presents me with the opportunity to make sense of a thirty-year-old lingering pain. It started with mother sharing the news that we were in the United States, to stay. That decision affected my relationship with both my parents and my sisters. We don’t share our feelings, memories, or experiences. Now, we are not on amicable terms, which is collateral damage caused by the move.
