Stolen Family Quotes

“They wanted her anger so they could mock it. They wanted her self-doubt so they could play the unequivocal experts. They wanted her to feel small so they could feel big. They wanted her to feel stupid so they could lord their superiority over her. They wanted her to feel intimidated so they could feel in control. They wanted her to feel afraid so they could feel powerful.”
― Lisa Regan, Stolen Family
