“But there is no cure for what ails him, and the powers that be determined that there is no point in throwing away any more money for therapies to help someone who can’t be helped. It was at about this time that his mother stopped looking at him. A part of her detached, as if he were already in some institution or group home. She had already said goodbye, maybe I’ll see you on Sunday. Tom is used to living within himself, but he still misses her.”
