EP 31: A Mother and Her Daughter - Part 1

Mama Tales

For Mother's Day this year, I feature someone very special, my mother.
I have an interesting relationship with my mother. We talk almost every day, we have little secrets between us but one thing I always say is that we are different. I probably say this because I do not really know her. All I know about her life is the little she has shared with me over the years. I know she had a tough upbringing, with no relationship with her parents. I know losing my father eight years ago has made her make many decisions, some of which I struggle a lot with.
This episode is the first in an exercise I am going through to get to really know her. It is inspired by a book I came across a couple of weeks back that has questions on topics that span the life of your mother, and it allows you to sit down with her and get to write down her story.
For this episode, my mother picked to share her parenting journey. In it, she talks about how she thought she would be a single mum, about almost getting into trouble while trying to curb a craving, about having major spinal surgery when she was pregnant with my sister and try struggles of being a working mum in a world that didn't provide too much care for new mothers.
The second part of this conversation will be out next week.
