My poem is about being pregnant and having a child. Then realizing I was not just me but two people. Then him having two children and being suddenly 4 people. It's about the strange feeling one has when children beget children and you wonder am I still only me. Since I gave my child up for adoption it has an even stranger feeling to be so many...in a line/heritage.
I like your interpertation. I too had a bipolar parent, my mother. so I can relate.
I wondered how this poem would come across.
