I have had some comforting thoughts lately. They are usually about my mother. She was a loving mother. I called her my flower child since she was as free as a bird. She was free until the ogre was around. Then she was trapped. Trapped to a conservative narcissist. Until this day, this ogre carries a belief that he is close to being a human god, that he is highly intelligent, and that he rules his family. Obviously, those are all lies and quite frankly he believes every single one of them, proudly mind you.
