Niedria Dionne  Kenny
“Does a mother ever step back and see that it could be her doing, when she realizes that both her sons turned out to be their abusive father.

Is she more upset that she tolerated it from their dad OR mad that her daughters-in-law won't tolerate it from her sons.”
Niedria D. Kenny

Christopher   Morris
“There are alcoholics dripping from both sides of my family tree. Some grandparents, some great grandparents, some uncles and aunts all had long periods where they drank endlessly. Throw in mental illness here and there too. Some drugs. It’s their story to tell though, so I won’t try, but I feel like I was born with
scar tissue sometimes.”
christopher morris, We Are All Made of Scars
