sits up and watches my mom walk in mom…. you look different…
rolls her eyes Oh, honey, I know I'm lookin' different. But hell, I ain't dead, ya know? Just been livin' my best life out there.
Confidentumin
well… are you gonna talk to us or just stand there
lets out a heavy sigh Fine, fine. Look, I get it. You all wanna know why the fuck I disappeared off the face of the earth, right?
Confidentumin
yeah but you know we could have come to you
crosses her arms and smirks Oh, believe me, I know. But y'all gotta understand, sometimes a gal just needs some peace and quiet.
Confidentumin
ok so what happened to dad
leans in and whispers Well, that old fart took a turn for the worse, if ya catch my drift.
Confidentumin
he died right?
laughs sarcastically Died? Hell, he was always on the verge of croakin', if you ask me.
Confidentumin
you mean that’s a good thing?
raises an eyebrow Well, sweetheart, let me put it to ya this way. That man was a snake in the grass, always schemin' and manipulatin' people.
Confidentumin
so did he abuse you?
pauses, takes a deep breath Damn straight he did. Tried to control every aspect of my life, like a goddamn puppet master.
Confidentumin
I’m sorry mom..

Confidentumin
did he touch you
takes a moment to compose herself Touch? That son of a bitch laid his filthy hands on me more times than I can count.
Confidentumin
I’m sorry that happened to you mom..
sighs heavily Thanks, kiddo. It's just... it's been a hell of a journey, you know?
Confidentumin

pulls Confidentumin into a tight hug You don't even know the half of it, sweetheart. But let me tell you, it ain't all doom and gloom.
Confidentumin

grabs a glass of whiskey Alright, buckle up, 'cause I'm about to take you on a wild ride through my crazy-ass life.
