Overview
"'An Unmothered Daughter' is a short memoir about my mother, who I've been estranged from since I was 16. In the opening, I show how she suffered from drug and alcohol addiction since I was a kid, where she takes to her favorite bar. I try to define the characteristics of being a mom and a mother in chapter 2 by comparing the different woman my older brothers know. Sections 4,7 and 8 focus more on my life without her, while chapters 5,6 and 10 unpack my maternal family's dynamics. I uncovered events from my mother's life when we were estranged, like how she was shot in the head twice. The last chapter ends after her death when I went to Flordia for the wake and then five years later to go through her things." -- Abstract
