The state independently chose to press charges against my mother. As in, there�s a warrant out for my mom's arrest. Nice weather we�re having?
I am the only person currently on speaking terms with her, if you call weekly verbal assault via phone where she talks and I listen �speaking terms.� I should stop answering, but it�s hard because somewhere deep deep down behind all those evil words there�s the lady who captivated my dad and gave birth to me. She wasn�t normal or particularly nice, but she was the only mom I had.
Maybe I shouldn�t delude myself. Her mind is gone. It�s probably not coming back. I have to go on without her. I�m an adult now, independent and strong, with a highly developed plethora of coping skills. One of them is to leave it be, and walk away.
