Emotions Quote by Allen Ginsberg
“I was putting on a stiff upper lip and trying to fulfill the obligations I thought were demanded of me, taking over my father's role of taking care of my mother... and having to be the recipient of her confessions and emotions but of a delusional nature.”
![“I had spent my childhood and the better part of my early adulthood trying to understand my mother. She had been an extraordinarily difficult person, spiteful and full of rage, with a temper that could flare, seemingly out of nowhere, scorching everything and everyone who got in its way. [pp. 40-41]” quote by Dani Shapiro](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/f2b/dani-shapiro-2273_adulthood_i-had-spent-my-childhood-and-the-better_1377892.jpg)
