My Misogynistic Mother
In one swift motion, she tried to snatch Dad's phone, desperate to see who had sent the message.
But before she could get a proper hold of it, Dad stopped her.
"Stop it! What more do you want? Our daughter is already dead because of you, and all our neighbors mock me. You claim you care about me, but do you know what they're saying behind my back? They call me a simp! Do you get it? For once, can you stop making our family a joke?"
It was the first time I had ever heard Dad speak so harshly to her. However, it did little to deter Mom's determination to see the phone.
