This was so relatable. I'm grateful Anita was able to reach a point of peace, understanding, and forgiveness.
Fortunately, my own parents, now in their mid eighties, are finally able to say the things I longed to hear when I was younger--words of affection and validation. And I've lived long enough to see that we're each doing the best we can at the moment. ❤
Such hard-earned wisdom in your words. Thanks for sharing 🙏
This hits home so deeply. Two weeks before my mother died, she finally said that she never wanted a daughter. That explained why we never had a relationship.
Glad you enjoyed it and could relate. Doing this work is hard but ultimately healing.
Both my mom and dad’s families came from different parts of Russia (in the early 1900’s) - one from Kiev area and the other from Latvia. I barely got any stories when my grandparents were alive. Never really asked my parents too. Now that they are gone I wish I had. Just like Anita, my dad was very quiet, mom very talkative. I remember the table in our house too. I never had weight issues as a child or a teenager. My mom was always really skinny until she reached menopause and she also had Graves Disease. Dad didn’t find out until he was 60 that he had diabetes. Mom always had him on a diet. She was never on one. So I was always like mom, my sister was like dad in a lot of ways (although she was not heavy, in that way she was like mom.) I didn’t start dieting until I gained weight in college. Mom put me on the I Love NY Diet and the Grapefruit Diet (to this day I hate grapefruit.) I started low carb after childbirth (around 1998??) Still consider myself low carb (lost and gained some of the baby weight over-and-over). I still consider myself a carb addict. Bad thing is I work in a bakery at a supermarket so I am around carbs 5 days a week I try to limit what I buy and eat from there, but I still do eat some of it. Anyway, that is me.
Thanks for sharing your story with us. Interestingly, my maternal grandmother escaped from the Nazis from Riga, Latvia in 1939 to Canada. My father’s side came from the Kiev area.
Anita’s story sounds so much like my story. Thank you for sharing.
I hope it helped you feel less alone and connected. In sharing our stories, we realize how muse have in common.
Soooo very interesting. Makes me love even more about Anita! Good questions that make me think about my own family history, dynamics and experiences. Truly enjoyed this. Thank you. 😊
Glad you enjoyed it. Food for thought indeed.
I really enjoyed hearing Anita's story and very much appreciate her willingness to share it and be open with us. I think I had an expectation that the host would be more like a therapist. I wanted to hear more Anita and less from the interviewer. However, I came to realize this was a " conversation" as the channel is titled. Once I had that framework, it was easier to get past what sometimes felt like interruptions.
I could very much relate to Anita's experience. Although I am older than she, my mother was a child of immigrants and she experienced family and personal abuse, trauma and poverty in her younger life. Her family were all highly aware of food scarcity and utilized every bit of food. I learned part of her and the family story while my mother was alive but discovered much more about the physical abuse she suffered in her childhood home, after she died. It really explained her anxiety and temper and made me wonder how she could have been as sweet, kind and generous a person as she was, with that past. Understanding her life, helped me have compassion for her and not focus on all the psychological gaps that I felt needed to be filled. My father was 25 yrs older than my mom and he was an immigrant to the US. He lived through WW1 and WW2 though he only served briefly in WW1. He and his family were very entrepreneurial and very close to one another supporting and loving each other. There was a sense of struggle for sure and being grateful for what we had growing up. And we (my siblings and I ) all knew it was a result of our parents very hard work and efforts and strong family ties. We saw it in our entire family. Both my parents' families were loving, hard working, emotional and loved food. Food was celebration as well daily sustenance and it was plentiful. We never felt a sense of scarcity but did receive the message repeatedly that we didn't know what it meant to lack or be hungry. I think what was unsaid or unrecognized was the reality the people need to fed with more than food. Even with love and security, our beings need and or want certain things that we don't get from our parents. That is what becoming an adult is about for me. It means being open to understanding my own feelings and needs and being compassionate and respectful of others. As long as my mind is sharp, I hope to continue to learn and evolve as a person. I often fall flat and go off course, and that is all part of the journey too. I am very grateful for your work here. And wish you every success. I trust many will be helped by your efforts and the open space you are creating for dialogue about the emotional, mental, and spiritual parts of our lives. 🎉
Thanks for your feedback. Glad you found it helpful and interesting.
