In therapy, I began to recognize that addressing unexamined and
unresolved feelings about past sexual assaults as well as
exploring general
unresolved concerns about my sexuality and femininity — concerns that existed since I was a young girl — would be a crucial part of my healing process.
However, 45 years later, the death of Fay's father in 2009 unearthed
unresolved, deep - seated
feelings about her mother which she has been
exploring in drawings ever since.
