Where Can You Hide, Mother?

Where Can You Hide, Mother?

Hoarding, Poverty, Feminism

In this piece the author describes her life growing up with a mother with "the disease of hoarding". The author recalls her mother's own embarrassment at what she perceives as the disease of most working class people, the disease her grandmother had as well. The author writes that when you grow up without anything in "Sh*t-stain, small town Texas", everyone holds on to everything lest they lose security in the only place they can hide from the world and its hostility.
