Dante is teaching me how to write while parenting. When I told him I was working on this essay about Carrie he challenged me to think of a time I couldn’t protect my children and write that down. He told me to show, not tell. The truth of the matter is I’ve always felt like I could protect my children. That is a lie I know I tell myself - it helps me stay alive. If I really thought of the world I brought my children into and if I really sank into their positioning in this world the weeping would be unable to cease.
