Chapter 391

• My mother was borderline negligent and emotionally abusive when she goes through her periods of poor mental health, and in turn I treated her with kid gloves; never gave her bad news, lied to her about how I felt and tried to spend less time with her so as not to upset her or allow her enough time to upset me.
• "I'm not suggesting that he didn't have some underlying issues with possession or control and it would be unfair for me to diagnose him considering he's not my patient. But I would suggest that the two situations could be correlated" She answers, tiptoeing around the idea of really offering up any sort of form response.
• "So how do I fix that? I can't go back in time and not leave. If I could have done that I would have but that's not how the world works. So how do I fix it?" I ask almost impatiently. I don't want Rhode to feel scared or nervous about the possibility of me leaving him for the rest of our lives.
