"Internal Suffering"


I drew this after a weekend of being sole caregiver or provider for Grants children. I'd given out much love, dedication .. I'd allowed myself to be fully present and to experience the weekend with them - instead of from a distanced or dissociative perspective. This inturn, did a round a bout trip, and I experienced a huge gap in my belly - where My son was birthed from. I missed him so much in the moments of drawing this picture. I yearned for him, mourned for him, grieved the loss of ever being a full time parent again.

I lost my son due to my life
I gave him up
So that he would have the chance to succeed where I haven't
Don't tell me that I'm a selfish bitch
