My boomer mother was beaten to the point of hospitalization regularly and had her bones broken and cigarettes put out on her by her hateful mother who wanted a son.

My God, that's so tragic. I'm so sorry that happened to her.

That's a sad family story, Comrade. I hope you're doing better now, feel supported, and have love for yourself.

I consider myself fortunate, I do have support and love and plenty of food on the table! I used to really hate my parents but through therapy I have come to understand that they were victims themselves. I call it therapy privilege! I sure wish they would go so we could talk again but i'm happy to have broken the cycle of violence anyway.
