For a moment, do not hesitate to talk. Felt an oppression in the skin, an intense and familiar pain in the heart of the mothers when there is sufre, no desde el exterior, sino desde su propio hogar.
Me felt in the bedroom a su lado, cepillando su cabello con suavidad. “No has hecho nada malo, Emily. ¿Me oyes? No tienes nada de qué avergonzarte”.
“Everything happens in the world as if the problem is there”.
Eso destroyed me.
Because the tension is right.
This night, I found myself alone in the kitchen, with the clock ticking quietly and the house in silence. Served a vaso de agua, pero el temblor de mis manos lo derramó. The image of Emily’s pink surcado by las grimas shocked me. Thought in the generations of women that we precede: silences, silences, a few words that remain discreet with their pain. I tell you this: if you don’t hear it yet, it will be safe to say that the silence will be correct.

Do not allow this to happen.
At the same time, call a familiar meeting.
Family Games
Mark frunció el ceño. “¿Ahora? ¿How is this trata?”
“Ya verás,” I said simply.
The girls entered, inconvenienced and drowsy. Emily dudó at the end of the scale, agarrándose a la barandilla. Tranquility with a gesture of the head. “Ven a sentarte con nosotros, cariño”.
She felt confident, she was heading towards her hands.
Breathed hondo. “We need to know important things”.
In principle, the habit with calm, explains what actually happened to menstruation: neither a secret nor a sudden accident, but a natural biological process. The habits of hormones, cycles, like the body of a woman are prepared for my life.
Sus caras se puieron rosadas, pero no me detuve.
—Chicos —dije con dulzura, mirándolos uno por uno—, vivan en un hogar con mujeres. Algún día, tendrán esposas, hijas, compañeras de trabajo y amigas que pasarán par esto. The minimum you can do is understand and respect.
If you worry, Mirando knew how to take care of yourself. But Mark remains silent, observant, thoughtful.
—When you are inconvenienced -continued-, there is no reason to dart the sword. This is the signal you need to learn. ¿Entiendes?
Hubo una larga pausa. Finally, my husband, Adam, lifted the hand as if it was in class.
“Entonces… ¿es es como si su cuerpo hiciera esto de forma natural?”
—Sí —dije con una suave sonrisa—. This is not the case to be avoided or avoided. You can be sad, emotional and emotional. Wherever you need it, there is no distance, but nothing.
My good friend, Ethan, comes from this thoughtful moment. “Entonces, cuando tenga dolor, ¿qué deberíamos hacer?”
Miré to Emily, our eyes will be sheltered here and there: we don’t hope for the future.
—You can prescribe if necessary algo —dije—. Quizás ayudarla con las tareas de la casa, darle espacio queando esté cansada o inclusive ser amiable. That’s it.
The room flew silently, but it was not inconvenient. Fue… comprensivo.
Adam said he saw Emily and the voice in your voice: “Perdón por ser tan raro. No lo sabía”.
Ethan asintió. “Sí. Thought that it was algo malo. Pero no lo es.”
Emily was surprised, and a little sound was revealed among her tears.
“No pasa nada”, dijo. “Yo tampoco sabía cómo explicarlo”.
And yet, of repentance, the wall began to be demolished.

More delay, when the chicos went to school, Mark asked. Se apoyó en el mostrador, con los brasos cruzados y la cabeza gacha.

—Me equivocé —dijo finally. Su voz era áspera y baja—. Crecí en una casa donde nunca se hablaba de esto. My mother takes care of her compresas detrás de los products de limpieza. My father bromeaba said that women were “fuera de l’alcance” for a week in my life.
Me miró, con la culpa suavizando sus rasgos. “Thought that los estaba protects from inconvenience. However, it is only possible to teach them to have the same normal behavior.
The tomé la mano. “No es tarde para hacerlo mejor”.
Él asintió. “Quiero.”
This is the end of the week where it has been demonstrated.
