"At my family dinners? Uh, yeah, it's happened," she answers, figuring everyone else pretty much knows already, so why not one more person. It's not like it hurts her anymore, thinking about her mom, and even though people know about it, it's easier than it was back home. Tara isn't here, so no one ever looks at Kate like that crazy woman's daughter and even if Tara does ever show up, Kate was here first. She's got some kind of claim on the place and the people in it and if Tara shows up here eventually, she's going to be known at Kate's crazy mom, not the other way around.

"My mom has Dissociative Identity Disorder," she says. "Used to be Multiple Personalities Disorder, that's probably what you've heard it referred to as. So when I say someone would turn into other people, I mean it. Mostly she'd be herself, but family dinners are stressful, right? Especially with grandparents like mine, they were total dicks, so mostly my mom was my mom, but sometimes she was Buck or T or Alice."
