    WOMAN:   Sometimes I feel like    
            I'm not enough.          

1295
01:33:20,428 --> 01:33:23,306
      I... I just can't do enough.   

1296
01:33:24,015 --> 01:33:26,058
            I don't know if          
      I'm more angry at my mother    

1297
01:33:26,142 --> 01:33:30,146
        for doing what she could     
           with what she had.        

1298
01:33:32,940 --> 01:33:38,321
       Or if I'm angrier that I'm    
     doing the same to my children. 

1299
01:33:38,904 --> 01:33:42,325
            It's so hard            
        to explain to a child       

1300
01:33:44,035 --> 01:33:46,329
         that you don't know        
          better yourself.          

1301
01:33:47,163 --> 01:33:48,664
        That you're learning.       

1302
01:33:49,790 --> 01:33:53,210
     That each day that goes by,    
       you're just winging it.      

1303
01:33:58,883 --> 01:34:01,552
     I want to protect them like    
     they need to be protected,     

1304
01:34:01,594 --> 01:34:04,680
        but nobody was there        
           to protect me.
