Modern Love NYT https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/18/podcasts/modern-love-seeing-parents-differently.html?referrer=masthead Do You Have a Story About Seeing Your Parent Differently? The Modern Love Podcast wants to hear about a time your perception of your parent(s) changed. Parents are often the first people who teach us how to exist in the world. But sometimes all it takes is one incident for our image of them to be upended. Then we’re left with a new understanding that our parents are just people, fallible like us. Tell us about a time when you saw a different side of your parents or elders. Maybe you realized they didn’t have all the answers — or you uncovered a secret about their lives before yours started. Perhaps they did something that surprised you. Or maybe you reached a moment of clarity years in the making. Please send a voice recording (no more than two minutes) with your story to modernlovepodcast@gmail.com. Start by telling us your full name and where you live. Your story doesn’t need to be completely polished, but it should have a beginning, a middle and an end — and it must be yours. NOTE: By leaving us a message, you are agreeing to be governed by The New York Times reader submission terms and agreeing that we may use, and allow others to use, your name, voice and message.

Shooting Sunshine Chapter 1

Chapter 1 Manhattan, New York “I used to be Amish.”  The extra-hot, double shot, oat milk latte burbled in Darcy King’s stomach.  She clutched the cup in an over-caffeinated death grip, fearing any moment it would crumple and cascade coffee down her white cashmere sweater.  “At least my family was…back in the day.” Everyone—every editor and staff writer and editorial assistant and freelance photographer like herself and, oh yes, the terrifying Editor in Chief of Hudson Magazine, Margo Ricconi-Gladstone herself, stared.  Darcy shifted on the three-inch wide windowsill at the back of the conference room where she perched with the other freelancers lucky enough to gain access to editorial meetings and desperate to maintain that status.  She swallowed hard, tasting coffee and fear.  She’d been advised repeatedly to fly under the radar. Drawing attention to herself and in so doing, the ire of every senior staff member was not necessarily wise.  Some staff...

  As I lay here beside his twelve-year-old body, I note, as I have so many other nights, the deep, even sounds of his breath. He’s laying on his back, arms sprawled out to the side like Christ on the cross. The backside of his hand is actually resting on my cheek and nose. His hand is soft and warm and I close my eyes so I can travel through time…   With my eyes closed, his hand could be twelve or six, or even two years old. And I enjoy the fantasy of traveling back in time and having had this experience of laying beside a healthy deeply sleeping Alex. I imagine tiny baby Alex laying beside me in bed with his hand on my face. And then the tears come. Because there was never such a night. And for a moment I lose contact with here and now and his sweet hand on my face, and my whole body tenses as the memory replaces the fantasy. His high pitched relentless wail, the way he would arch his whole body  I wonder how many parents have never even noticed their 12-year old’s b...

Experimenting with my post from March

  My son Alex is 11 years old. He has no friends.   He has never had any friends.  Well, he has his older brother, and his older brother’s friends have often been kind and sometimes even inclusive when they were all young enough to still have some reasonably overlapping interests and abilities. But the developmental age gap widened mercilessly each year.  Then we had to move in with my parents, across the country,  in California because Alex was just too sick for me to care for him properly while holding down a job.  We lost our New York City tribe of supportive families; those loving beings and their children who had embraced and included Alex from the time of his infancy.  And so, Alex is left behind.  Alex is left out.  Alex is left alone.  With me.  His only friend.  And in a lot of ways, I don’t count. Because I’m a 45 year old woman. And because I’m his mother. And I’m simply not a satisfactory sole playma...
