Just one mother's opinion about when to abandon your child.

💔

“Friends? THEY DISAPPEAR. I assure you, nothing clears your life of interested, concerned people like an oversize young man who’s acting crazy. Your neighbors avoid you. Your mother and father and siblings stay away. You’re on your own. And it is the most frightening, soul-sucking hell I have ever experienced. There is no order, no solace, no sleep.”

Age is a strange thing to happen to a little boy.
