Dear Cali Chica:

A partial elaboration, for now: “a woman has to see who her mother is.  It is only then that she is able to see who she herself is”-

when she entered your room while you were studying for an exam, you believed that she came in because she needed your help, that is, you believed she was helpless and you were able to provide the help she needed, “she comes in with a worried look on her face”, so you ask her “what’s going on?” She says: “nothing”, so you say: “come on mon, I know something is wrong”.

That “something is wrong” is your experience, sad, worried, helpless.

“Perhaps I am feeling uneasy in my own self at that moment for whatever reason… because my body is full or repressed emotions”-

These weak feelings of sadness and helplessness are repressed under the superhuman role. I don’t think you want to be aware of these feelings, understandably.

Let me know if this makes sense to you.
