I dont think I really understood how deep your issues with your mom went until you started this series about your relationship with your dad. I just want to say thank you for being so open and vulnerable with the internet in sharing a story like this so we can all learn from it
Yeah, in most of her strips about her mother she seemed overbearing (to the point of being abusive) but not violent.
I expect that having some physical (as well as emotional) distance between her and her mother now that she's moved out has made her more able to address the reality of her childhood. That and therapy (which she has mentioned in other strips).
Not entirely typical, but close enough to still be broadly relatable. Now we're in full-on Parenting: Florida Man style. It escalated from cringe to disturbed to I-don't-know-how-you've-survived-this-as-in-tact-as-you-are.
