Mama Says
Page 29
The title is simple and clear. Sounds like the little girl mama was talking about was herself, goowing up in a "dark home" and whenever daddy came home everyone hid. She is telling the story to a little girl, telling her enough to inform her about abuse. From what i understand she wanted to escape her dark home and fell into the arms of a man and became pregnant, but unfortunately he was abusive as well and mama left him because she was concerned about her unborn daughter having to grow up in the same condition as she did.
It was important that the writer mentioned in the 2nd paragraph the mama was able to have a a better home for her little one despite going though 2 abusive men. Mama was so sure her daughter will NOT suffer like she did.
I think the story Mama Says is precisely how life goes much of the time. I think humans would like to think that they steer life to its destination but as she speaks about life is an evolution and most times is us floating in fast waters and arriving where we end up. Once we end up there then that is when we try to regain control and decide what we do with the situation/s that we are in.
