Mother Abusive Quotes

“It started with the coffee cups  –  which turned out to have been teacups –  being smashed.
‘In all these years you haven’t managed to learn the difer-ence between teacups and cofee cups?’

Everybody watched. We had no home. No privacy. She would calm down and then get incensed and start screaming again, in waves.”
― Arundhati Roy, Mother Mary Comes to Me
