a story about mother & iran
New York Times / Susan Sajadi08-Feb-2009 (8 comments)
I did not know what Iran was, or what it represented. For me, it was an unintelligible jumble of emotions, from shame and resentment to love and sadness. It was like being in an abusive relationship with someone you can neither love nor leave.

In my mother, a fear stripped bare
by Alexander Lezhen (not verified) on Sun Feb 15, 2009 06:53 AM PSTThis story touched me. It was well written and sincere. I lost my mom when she was 53 from breast cancer. I also immigrated to the United States young.
Thank you for sharing this story and let world know how suppressed woman are still in this world.
look a little more closely

What is interesting is that the author did not recognize her mothers inner experience until she was dying and her defenses were stripped away? Perhaps she was a bit too sheltered, or maybe her mother was not aware of how the past affected her- because it affects us all, only in different ways. I think the piece was well written. I also think when kids are so privileged, they can be emotionally ignorant to what is going on around them, even if it involves mom or dad.
one of the better

Make the most of your exposure to a mother who was comfortable in her own skin.
i received this via an email
