The Ones We Sent Away: I thought my mother was an only child. I was wrong.

8. Beautifully-written memoire and reflections

My high-school piano teacher was a single woman with 2 kids. One was similarly institutionalized. This story gives me some sort of understanding of how difficult her life was. She had to make very difficult choices as a single mother with a severely disabled child, in order to support herself and the other child.

Thanks for posting.
