The mother sounds insane. Thomas probably had some serious issues.

Until I wrote this piece, my memory had always focused on what Thomas had done, and not on his mother's reaction.

I guess the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree.

Frightening story, but really well told.

Thanks.

This has got multiple layers of OUCH all over it. Well done.

Well, the incident itself had multiple layers of OUCH. But I'm glad to know I conveyed that well.

I think I'd find it hard to trust, too.

That actually helps a little. Thanks.

Wow, that's awful. The mother sounds crazy practically blaming you. Thomas clearly had issues as well.

As I told someone else: Until I wrote this piece, my memory had always focused on what Thomas had done, and not on his mother's reaction.
