A boy committed suicide earlier this month, I'm off to the memorial. I want so much to kick the mothers shins into a meat you could strain through cheese cloth. This is a woman who chose to love one twin over another, she wanted the girl, not the boy. Loving each child for whom they are is the minimum, to actively hate on a child when just a

This sounds dreadful. I'm so sorry. I don't understand how people can be like that with their kids. It's supposed to be unconditional love, even when there's dislike.

I'd rather not understand twisted people. Because if there is an explanation there will be an excuse quickly to follow. Listening to the 3 reports of the financial melt down on NPR this morning is just more blame shuffling. I know it is me I don't want to excuse evil, vile, scum. I want a swift judgment followed by appropriate equal volume punishment to be handed down. Locking someone away is not enough, they should rebuild, replace, and make up for the evil they wrought. Chain gangs building housing for the homeless, whatever it takes. Yeah my ideas are medieval and I regress when in pain. I know that the directly effected are far worse and the is such a horror.

Sigh.

I could have been there. My mother chose to sacrifice me for herself and my sister. And the thing is- my sister is now dead (and the fact that I can't find info on her cause of death makes me suspect suicide or similar), and so- my mother (coldly speaking) bet on the wrong daughter.

Not that I am finding this forgivable, since in a horribly abusive situation I did my best to protect my younger sister and got nailed for it. I don't regret my attempts at protection, but I do hold both parents responsible for requiring this. And I do also hold my sister responsible for brown-nosing rather than showing solidarity with me.

Note that even after my sister died, my mother has declined to be civil to me, which is my requirement for having any kind of relationship with her. She told me that being civil to me was too onerous.
