E184 - Joanna explains why she's been absent for the last three months. She thanks her listeners for still tuning in. Today, Joanna reads a personal essay of C.J. Papoutsis, titled, "They Didn't Come With Instructions". A personal essay which was originally published in the anthology, Dropped Threads: What We Aren’t Told. This short story/personal essay was written in 2002 and it's still relevant today. Thank you very much C.J., for your honest portrayal of motherhood and raising children.
