Sweetness Quotes

What she had said had to be true. Otherwise, why was I friendless? Why wasn’t I living with her, if I wasn’t such a horrible daughter and person? Why would she sell my body for drugs and booze? Which”

“And so worthless! You couldn’t do a damn thing if your life depended on it.” My mother whom I loved so much, my mother whom I practically worshipped, my mother whom I still missed.
