Amanda Palmer Instagram – 1977. Me and my mom, Kathy, at her mom and dad’s house right before my 1st birthday. With our hair up, we’re doppelgängers. No idea how she was keeping it together and looking so serene in this photo. She had a baby (me) and a 5 year old (my older sister) and she was on the brink of getting divorced from my dad (Jack). After the last few years of my own life navigating divorce and a small kid, I’m starting to slowly understand so much more. I love you, mom. A ton. Love you too, dad. To every parent, especially the solo, widowed and divorcing ones: you’re doing a great job. It’s a mess. Just keep going. What a ride. ♥️💐♥️
