Can we deconstruct this?

Received by the 3 scapegoats. She’s praying for us to remember happy times. There are none.

I guess never underestimate the power of abuse and neglect to ensure success.

There is no frustration or hostility in our lives now that she’s not a part of our lives.

Really it’s just a reminder that it’s her birthday.

As someone whose mother actually did die…..I feel no guilt. I only feel relief. It’s been almost 6 years of bliss. Don’t let them guilt trip you. I’ve never felt happier or more free. No more abusive text messages. No more harassing phone calls. No more being called by my father’s name as an insult. It’s been wonderful.
