Danish: Excerpt from an article, biography, childhood General field: Art/Literary
Source text - Danish When my mother was two years old, she was given as a “gift-child” to a wealthy widowed aunt who did not have any children of her own. Three years later, her birth mother, who was just 26 at the time, died of leukaemia.
My mother rarely saw her siblings or father, who eventually remarried, and – looking back now at my own upbringing in Odense, Denmark, I can trace the trauma I absorbed from my mother back to her own childhood.
But, as a child, I did not know why my mother was so cold and strict; why she never showed me any love or warmth. I did not know about her childhood or the feelings of loss and rejection she carried with her and passed on to me. I did not know any of this because feelings were not something we shared or discussed in my family. In fact, the only emotions my mother seemed capable of expressing were anger and sadness.
Translation - Danish Da min mor var to år gammel, blev hun givet bort som ‘gave-barn’ til en velhavende tante, som var blevet enke og ikke selv havde fået børn. Tre år senere døde hendes egen biologiske mor, som kun var 26 år på det tidspunkt, af leukæmi.
Min mor så sjældent sine slægtninge eller far, som senere giftede sig igen, og når jeg ser tilbage på min egen barndom i Odense, Danmark, kan jeg følge det traume, jeg fik overført fra min mor, tilbage til hendes egen barndom.
Men som barn forstod jeg ikke, hvorfor min mor var så kold og streng; hvorfor hun aldrig viste mig kærlighed eller varme. Jeg kendte ikke noget til hendes barndom og den følelse af tab og afvisning, som hun bar med sig og overførte til mig. Jeg vidste ikke noget om alt dette, fordi følelser var ikke noget, vi delte eller talte med hinanden om i min familie. Faktisk var de eneste følelser, min mor tilsyneladende kunne give udtryk for, vrede og sorg.
