Abstract

I have lost three mothers. The “biological unit,” as my husband irreverently refers to my birth mother, is lost. She left when I was 11, and I don’t know where she is. Ever since my maternal grandmother died as a result of her extreme negligence, and after she spent the inheritance on her 32-year-old husband (whom she married when she was 65), she disappeared. I suppose I could look for her, but I don’t know if I want to. It’s a funny thing to have misplaced a mother.
