Abstract:
This thesis is the first part of a memoir that I have been working on. It deals with my childhood and explores issues I faced growing up with an absentee father, in a single parent household dealing with questions of identity, sexual development, abandonment, love, and grief. The purpose of this thesis is to provide a narrative description of how the incidents that transpired contributed to my extreme independence as an adult.
