It was certainly healthier than Patricia’s approach, he thought. As she had done with everything throughout her whole life, she’d simply buried whatever she was feeling good and deep, and that was where it would stay. James often wondered if at some point his eldest daughter would suffer a nervous breakdown, on account of everything she had bottled up over the years, like a bottle of fizzy pop, shaken up so much that it finally just explodes.
Oh the irony of this characters name & how she’s portrayed, it’s my Mum all over, I don’t mean that in a bad or nasty way, at all, it’s just the characteristics can’t be ignored.
I’m an empath all the way, I’ll instantly hone in on others emotions & feel them as if it were my own. But I’m terrible at dealing with things, due to Mum I very much have a ‘run & hide’ mentality & I’ll say “sorry” over & over & cringe without realizing it due to, shall we say ‘her anger’ during my childhood.
