wait on the topic of divorce i do like talking to meemaw about her family situation history (mostly..... eh... if we avoid talking about discipline) bc so much of it mirrors mine weirdly (baby kid w big age gap to siblings and alcoholic dad) and is pretty interesting in different ways, like. FLIPFLOPPED CYCLES OF DIVORCE. where. tries to remember. she resented her mom for staying with her dad so stolidly thru everything and she divorced her first husband super early and with great um whats the word. vigor. which i love for protestant matriarch. fuck that man. but her mom stayed with her dad bc her mom felt really messed up from watching her own parents get divorced. and i held back from asking how meemaw's kids felt about her divorce in turn lol. but actually if i type all that out ☝️i wonder if my mom has unresolved shit from my omas unclear timeline of husbands the first two of whom were Horrible People. and my dads unclear timeline of. when his abusive dad swapped his abusive mom for an abusive stepmom
