Jamie, sadly my whole childhood was rough. Well under the poverty line, we had an out house, sketch power ect. I'm only 37. So I grew up poor 1930 tho sort of. My mom sadly was a little manic bipolar and an alcoholic. She def had herself in ununsafe positions in her manic episodes. But it was a lot to get around mentally. Cause there is the narrative that this doesn't happen to white ppl. So it was a whole thing. My rough childhood actually helped me mentally deal with her passing. I have her ashes in my home. I have closure ect. But it does inform how I see race relations. I can honestly admit that openly. Her color and sex didn't shield her or my family.
