Mama had explained it to her. The war and captivity had snapped something in him. It’s like his back is broken, Mama had said, and you don’t stop loving a person when they’re hurt. You get stronger so they can lean on you. He needs me. Us.
This is a strong woman trait. We mold ourselves in order to please our loved ones, in order to maintain the family united. It’s sad and beautiful at the same time. The amount of intention this requires is big.
But it sucks she said US. 😞
