When I tell people about my mother’s past, about my past, their responses are strikingly similar:

“How are you so normal?”

“Am I normal?” I ask. “Because I spent four hours researching how to dissolve a body in a bathtub today. And if you could survive being nail-gunned in the head. You can, by the way. If you take the nail in just the right spot.”

As with most questions like this, I always lead with jokes.

The serious answer is this: I may be normal now. But I wasn’t always.

Me at twenty years old wasn’t so different than my mother at twenty. In fact, I’d argue that we were on exactly the same path.

By twenty-four, I was depressed, suicidal, and bulimic.

I was in hell.

So what happened? Why was I able to pull myself out a of tailspin and my mother couldn’t?

This is a question that haunts me. One that I ask myself over and over again, as if I expect to wake and find that all my happiness has been a dream.
