Dear Reader(s),
[If you’re just joining in, you need to read Part 1 to understand this story.](https://www.reddit.com/r/incest/comments/10i4j1r/ms_coming_home_to_mom_part_1_promises/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)
To the others, thank you for the overwhelming response to my story. I appreciate those of you who have been calling me out on my insensitivity in the last part. This exercise is for me to process many pages of memories, to make connections that I didn’t make earlier, and figure out how I ended up where I am.
When I said, lovely reader, that I intend to take you along as my judge and witness, I meant it. I submit myself to your judgment and your mirth, your sympathy and your empathy. I want to start this part by talking a bit about a memory that I think will serve as an important context to this story.
#How it all began – An overheard conversation.
I remember, as a child, overhearing a particularly aggressive fight between my mom and my dad. My mom and I had never known, outside of us, a home that could ever be called whole. She was a product of a broken home, and so was I. Our destinies were entwined by not only a strong biological bond, but also a shared experience of abandonment.
