how do you tell your mother that her drinking ruined you?
you don't
you keep quiet until you grow up
until you grow used to it
numb
you throw hints here and there
sometimes you're rather clear
rather mean
you're mean most of the time actually
because you love her so much
but the lack of apology has made you bitter
you don't want to hurt her
in fact
you'd do anything for her
and that's your biggest weakness
your biggest strength
