To fear the the outside world is the only way to survive. That no one is good expect the drunks and assholes she let into the house. No one is good unless she says so. Even then, people can only be trusted for so long. When you are done using them, there is no need to trust them. Once they are milked dry, they then become the enemy.
My mother always taught me that a lie was the best way to get something you wanted. From the smallest white lie, to the largest dark, lies are the way to go.
She always taught me to take the easy way out. That if you knew enough you never had to work hard.
She always taught me that no matter what your problem was, a pill could fix it all.
My mother always taught me day in and day out, that: I never want to be like my mother.
