Christmas Eve: Mom Lied About My Chastity
As I watched the grim expressions on my in-laws' faces and Louis' evasive gaze, I suddenly realized I'd truly had enough of Mom.
…
For some reason, Mom always found it entertaining to spread rumors about me and belittle me in front of others.
When I was a child, she'd accused me of stealing. Then, later on, at my college graduation, she fabricated stories of me having an affair with one of my professors on the spot.
I barely had any friends growing up. Everyone avoided me like the plague.
Every time I caught Mom in one of her lies, she would show no remorse. She claimed she was only joking, and that she didn't know everyone else would take what she said so seriously.
