M.O.M.: Mother of Madness #1 (of 3‪)‬

This small volume spoke to me on so many levels, as a trans woman living in the south, with a trans partner, there were lines in M.O.M. spoken by Maya that were so touching, that I felt deeply. So deep in fact, I had to put the issue down and sob. Big healing sobs.

“This is our life now… It’s a little life, but it’s ours, and it’s good. We’ve come so far. We’ve escaped so much.”

Thank you Emilia X, shared pain is halved pain.

Beautifully written. Intelligent. Fantastic artistry. Relevant topic and story. The best aspect for me is while telling a story, individuals who feel different or are made to feel different have base of accurate info to help them understand what and how things are occurring. Speaking for myself one of the most helpful things is to not feel alone during stressful times but that often occurs. We can only see ourselves but when you become aware others are having the same difficulties it helps to decrease the feelings of sadness or anxiety. You realize you are not alone. This in itself doesn’t resolve what is happening but it helps to allow you to see yourself in a more positive light and then you can go from there. As for myself I’m a unique person and people have difficulty communicating and understanding me so I always face things alone. Sharing this topic/information is very helpful for those without adequate support. I have a saying I came up with many years ago to help relate to others. “There is always a method to my madness”.
