Mothering among authoritarians

explains

what happened

between

us.

We had

no

chance

for the gift

of my loving mothering

to be fully given and fully yours.

Still

unwrapped

and stuffed and piled into storage

are thousands of If Onlys my mothering had been parented up

with a loving and kind Dad and a country of kindness and love,

where our playful and joyful artistic free spirit INFJ

mother and daughter bond

had been cheered on.

©️ July 2025 Much Love, Deb Poem

This poem is for my loved INFJ Daughter, Sonia Bianca.

I am remembering the fun we had together

and when we could safely let go and be ourselves.
