The way my mom is, I doubt that she would ever change. She would never speak to me again if she ever found what I write here, and would beat me black and blue. I believe that everyone can change, but some people chose not to. She went through a lot, but, it is no excuse and I feel that she will never admit to her wrong doing. And considering how she’s treating my brther the same way, closing the door might be the best option. I’ll feel sympathy for her, but that’s as far as I’ll go.
