Ouch. Close to home.

I found out my maternal grandmother once, to punish her youngest son, did exactly this. I don’t remember what it was he did as it has been decades since I heard the story, but she packed her bags and walked to the bus station in town. The whole time my uncle was following her, wailing and crying for her not to go.

My grandma was a real piece of work and the day I heard that story it clicked why my mom is so fucked up.
