As someone who was Smothered (and still is at nearly 38 years old), I felt heartbroken for us all reading your beautifully written, powerful piece. This is a conversation that we all need to start having and hopefully we can collectively place few sutures in the mother wound that we all carry. A tiny bit of healing is better than no healing at all. xo
