Because I was her son, and she was going to look after me. ‘It’s going to be okay,’ she said.
I was going to say I could never see my Mum doing that, as we’ve never had that type of relationship. However I can remember when I was little 5 or 6, she went to the school angry at some things that had been done, I can’t remember much about it at all, smacks on the hand with a ruler for something I hadn’t done & emotional abuse. I don’t know what was said, but I can remember how happy I was that she was sticking up for me.
