How Michelle Yang’s Journey as a Fat Asian Woman with Bipolar Defied All Odds to Find True Love in Phoenix Girl
LL: I loved your reflection:
I desperately want to believe Mama and Baba—that having my own child will allow me to forgive and understand them. Instead, I became angrier and more inconsolable over the way Didi and I were
treated. Seeing my childhood through my soon-to-be mother’s eyes is too much to endure.
I had this exact experience with my firstborn. Seeing how much I loved my child made me incredibly angry with my own parents. I love that feeling—to truly feel like someone else has had the same experience—that I can only find in memoir.
