* Dear calisister and Cali Chica:

Your mother used to be as good and loving and lovable like any other baby and child. She was not born bad or cruel, not at all.

Problem is, you didn’t meet her when she was a child. You met her when she was an adult, no longer good and loving and lovable. She was not born cruel, she became that way.

Sometimes, I am sure, that good and loving and lovable part of her shows and that may confuse you. Reality, is she is and has been cruel for a long time. Every cruel person has a good and loving part in there, sometimes showing.
