I’m so grateful that my mother wasn’t a piece of shit. I mean, she has her faults. She voted for the shitbird three times, thus ending our relationship (I won’t speak to her because of it), but she really tried. She wasn’t abusive. She sucked and piled on baggage from her own bs, but it wasn’t really her fault; she just had shortcomings.

Meanwhile, I watch bodycam videos on youtube and feel horrible for some children. Thanks, Mom!
