Ballad of Bael Quotes

“Some people are under the misinterpretation that any form of love from a parent is better than none. I’m in the minority on that. That kind of love isn’t love at all. It’s abuse. People as a whole have this firm belief that just because someone is related to you by blood that you should allow them to walk all over you, poison your life, poison your heart, and you should roll over and accept it because they’re family.” She takes a breath and continues, “I don’t know how many times mother would do something horrendous to me and then try to excuse it by saying, ‘I’m your mother I have the right.’ But that’s not true; no one has the right to do things like that to anyone, especially their children.”
― Zoe Parker, Ballad of Bael
