People are messy and doing their best, the best any of us can ever do is keep stepping up. Glad you’re doing well and glad you had her all the same.

Still sucks to even imagine growing up like that, but horror movies fuck me up as an adult, so I’m biased I guess.

Funny enough, long after she had stopped watching horror movies with me, I became very fond of horror movies. But now she, who I'm pretty sure saw every horror movie released 2000-2010, can't stand horror.

Life develops in funny ways.

The curse transferred from her to you.

In her golden years she moves in with you. The tvs in her room are just out of reach playing all of the 20teens horror movies, y’know the ones after a24 changed the game. The PA system trips whenever she starts shouting and an automated voice loops “I am strong now mother”

Or you know being kind and decent despite your history is cool too I guess.
