My mom was not the best mom in the world. Some could say not being raised by a parent would have been better than being raised by ... her. My dad was always a passive one, the enabler who would strap you down whilst mom beat us. My mom got so bad, my brother drinks every day trying to forget what happened, he just doesn't want to remember. My mom would threaten us with knives, dry fire guns in front of us for "fun", she kept insisting we were gay when we weren't because she hated she couldn't pick up brownie points for the new age globo homo, she kept seeing us as her meal ticket to her retirement, so she would constantly hammer us for not making enough money, not dressing right, insulting her by asking basic questions about her thought process. The question is why should I forgive her? Even if i wanted to, how would i begin to commit to such a feat?
