Being Removed From Her Mothers Care Caused an Additional Mother Wound.

She had two mothers and both of them left a wound. Desiree was removed from her birth mother at five years old, placed with a great aunt and uncle who gave her every material thing she could need, and still, something was missing. In this episode, she shares what it was like to grow up caught between two mother figures, managing her birth mom's emotions over the phone, while never feeling fully seen in the home she lived in. This one is raw, real, and full of the kind of nuance that doesn't fit into simple narratives about good moms and bad moms.
