They say the best lies contain a sliver of truth.
Our mother would tell us things.
He just wants you to react.
He wants any reaction.
As she told us lies about our father.
And tried to take us further away.
He thought she was brainwashing me.
I was young. I was smart. I didn’t understand.
She took us because he wanted us.
She wanted to be hated.
Because it was better than being ignored.
