Tatie lost her mother when she was 18 years old and it changed her life in more way's than one might think... Tatie, like many other people in the world, lost her mother as a result of alcoholism - As a child, she often had to fend for herself, worry about which version of her mother she would get on a specific day, but what is more, she also lived everyday knowing that her mother wouldn't live long. Their relationship was marred with unfortunate events due to her mothers alcoholism and subsequent health issues including schizophrenia, but she still remembers the beautiful moments they shared. In this really brave episode of DMR, we talk about the *relief* she felt after hr mom passed, how being self-sufficient at such a young age has made her maybe a bit too independent, and why shoe'd always given her mother grace, ever though she hurt her so deeply. This is a brilliant story of complexity and triumph that you do not want to miss.
