"...I’ve been managing my mom’s emotions since I was five. I don’t spend my days worrying about what house party I’m gonna get wasted at, I worry about if water’s gonna come out of the faucet the next time I turn it on.

And I laugh through my tears to try to be more lighthearted and I look at him while I’m laugh-crying with snot dribbling into my mouth and I say:
“Don’t be concerned. This is good. This is great. This is what I want.”

“You’re usually so understanding,” he says, his face settled with a milky look of concern.
It’s a masterfully chosen phrase, a way of pinning the problem back onto me

He thrusts into my solid rage, over and over, every pump puncturing it, making it weep like a bad blister.
