Never mind that the children of these single moms are completely unseen and unheard. They - we - are like 'Nam vets. Nobody really wants to know what we've done or tour the blood-and-shit-stained tiger cages we have survived. If commercial journalists address our reality at all, they always do so with condescension. Pop-psychology offers us a completely inadequate menu of self-help groups and absurd codependency languages and mistaken diagnoses and snake oil therapies to try and make sure that our rage is well contained and thus will have no political potential to punch out the teeth that bit us. Fuck that shit. We only have one disease: being raised poor under capitalism. The rest of the diagnoses are disguises to hide us from this terrible truth and the obvious corresponding cure of revolution. How is it that even some normally enlightened colleagues can understand the concept of generational rage when it is directed against parents in general, but they cringe if Eminem or another rapper socks it to the only parent he ever had: his mom.
