* Dear calisister:

She used people (your father, your sister, you, anyone) for social outings, just like she suggested you use friends to go shopping with.

The punch in the face I mentioned in your thread is her communication: I am angry you are alive!

The black eye, the injury, is your conclusion that there is something wrong with you.

Any child receiving this communication from her mother, will believe there is something wrong with her.

There is nothing wrong with you, calisister. Never has been anything wrong with you.
