My Misogynistic Mother
"Liam, I'm doing this for your own good. Don't worry. You can live without your legs. I'll stay by your side forever and take care of you!
"You'll stay with me like this. You'll never look at another woman again, okay?"
Blood gushed out, staining the entire bedsheet red and dripping down the edge onto the floor.
Dad was already awake from the excruciating pain, but Mom's attack was relentless. He had lost all sensation in his legs; he couldn't even lift them. He could only helplessly watch as Mom continued.
And I, in the adjacent room, neither intervened nor called the police.
Soon, Dad passed out, his face pale.
