He did choose to drag you back in after you were done with college, though, didn't he? He could have left you the hell alone, and that's the biggest gift he could have given you: some small chance at a normal life. But he didn't.
[She narrowed her eyes.]
And seriously, he didn't reel you back in out of love, because I've seen what parents'll do when it gets down to the wire. They'll struggle to save their kids even when it's totally pointless and they're both gonna die anyway, because they love 'em too much to just give up. I've seen some of 'em and their kids die on the tables right next to each other, I've seen others DOA, but at least they gave enough of a shit to make the attempt.
[She stopped taking drinks, because she knew she might need to be able to get to her feet quickly.]
Yours? Forget struggling. He didn't even try. And to top it all off, he dragged you back in deeper. He damned you to become what you are now. That's fucking sick.
Spam.
