My Earliest Childhood Memory

My mom's foot going through a glass window.

My mom is clutzy, but she did not trip. My mom, in one of her drug induced rages, decided to put her foot through a window. It was the big window in my parents bedroom that looked out into the backyard. I remember her putting it through, and I remember there being the tan thin plasticky type of 2 inch wide masking tape over the window for a while after, but I don't really remember the parts in between.

When I was a teenager I told my mom I remembered it and she was shocked. She then tried to fill me in on some details, she and dad were fighting, and as she tried to rationalize it, she thought putting her foot through a glass window was the right way to solve the problem.
