Richard:
[narrating]
All of our earliest memories are lies, family mythologies handed down to us repeatedly until they become as real as what actually happened.
Richard:
No one in the family can say exactly when my mother went crazy. According to Grandma, she was always that way. Dad said it started when she lost the babies. Seven miscarriages in eight years can tend to do that to a person. That's why my arrival on the scene came as somewhat of a surprise. I was born with the umbilical cord wrapped around my neck. I've been pissed off ever since.
Richard:
The miscarriages had taken such a toll on Mom that she somehow got it in her head that she'd lost me as well.
Richard:
Shortly after I was born, my mother drove me to California and placed me in a Catholic orphanage. I wish I could tell you about my earliest memories there, but the truth is, no one knows. Back home, she claimed I had died at birth and couldn't tell anyone where I was.
Richard:
Two years later, after another miscarriage, she suddenly remembered where she'd left me. Despite all of Mom's craziness, Dad never stopped loving her. But they divorced, and I was passed around like an unwanted Christmas fruitcake.
Richard:
Eventually, my mother decided she needed to be a full-time mom again, and that we needed a fresh start. I disagreed.
