"Reading this while being kicked out of home must be peak hypocrisy.

Incredible book.

“When their children turn out to have their own needs, it can send such parents into a state of intense anxiety. Those who are extremely emotionally immature may then use punishment, threats of abandonment and shaming as trump cards in an attempt to feel in control and bolster their self esteem-at their children’s expense.”"

“Ever since, I’ve been looking everywhere for parents, in my lovers, in my friends, and it’s all right with me to have nothing of my own — not any plans and not any worries. I like this kind of life, it’s terrible but true. I don’t know why it is, but the moment I wake up something in me feels things are going right.”
Françoise Sagan, That Mad Ache: A Novel
