RE: Fear and the Denial of Birthright
This was such a beautifully writren piece that instantly pierces the heart. My daughter is half Guyanese and i won sole custody after her mother and I divorced. I tried my best to bring aspects of her Guyanese culture into our life but there is no substitute for her mother's direct influence.
Ah. That's a tough situation. The fact that you work to keep the connection is plenty, though. It's beautiful that you choose to honor inheritance from a mother who did not end up sharing the partnership initially planned. Many would vilify. I know my mother did for a long time in some ways, and she and my father are still together.
