Mothers

Gah

Mine has spent the last 3-4 days locked in the guest room, brooding and watching films.

Akira (my niece) asked me today where my mother was. I said she's sleeping. Then she asked me where her mother was.

Turns out you can't explain to a two-year-old that their mother is too bipolar and paranoid to want to be near her. You can't say that her mother might disappear and not ever come back.

I said that I didn't know.

I need to take up cursing and smoking and brawling and assorted drugs. Maybe I will not be so angry then.
