Prisoner with Thoughts - Contribution Made at the May 2007 Montalvo Art Center

The following story of self-censorship was submitted anonymously on 1/28/2009

Many times I want to ask my husband why he doesn’t help out with the baby. Why he won’t get up, EVER, to feed him at night. Why I work but also am supposed to be a full time mom. I get scared to ask these things because I’m afraid he’ll get mad and start smoking pot more, wich I don’t want for the baby. I feel like a prisoner with these thoughts. I feel impotent.
