When they get a little older the kids can have the tattoo place put “mom” and a heart shaped bouquet of roses on their arms.

Nothing like a mom.

My mother was a psychologically abusive narcissistic man hating alcoholic. The minister at her funeral said “And all of you——all of you——say only good things about her today. Her battles with the world are over now.”

Sorry to hear that, FRiend.

My sympathies, frank ballenger. If it’s any comfort, a teetotaling mom can also check most of those boxes. Just substitute rage and/or drama for alcohol.

The good news is, you survived, with your belief in our God intact. Good on ya!

Me to the minister: "Butt the F out!"

I feel your pain, frank. My mom was a manic depressive that took “legal” drugs prescribed by her psychiatrist for 22 years. She could go off into a rage at the drop of a hat and when she did...us kids hid. I was the last one left in the home due to my age for close to 6 years and it was hell.
