    I’ve talked on the verse about having a malignant narcissist for a mother and how our society is so busy worshipping mothers, that it doesn’t stop to think some of us haven’t got one. Or had one who was awful.

    Pay attention around Mother’s Day. All the ads, all the products, all the social media about how she gave you everything, how she’s a hero, how she’s done everything and would do anything for you.

    Writers trying to capitalize on what some people don’t have is so evil. I hope tat Simone never sees this.

      it’s the worst shit. even now, well into adulthood, when I’m injured or something, I’m still supposed to rely on my mom. I don’t have one of those.

      I tried explaining it to a doctor once. I showed him some of the scars. just in one ear and out the other.

      I feel like the reliance on ‘family’ is a way to dismantle any solidarity or any hint of a society, any kind of broad social support. I feel like it’s a whole thing.

          like i said; well into adulthood. my twenties are firmly behind me. I think the time parts are going to do what they’re going to do. the biggest pain in my ass now is places where ‘society’ is supposed to just be a thing that flat out does not exist for me.
