Mother Quotes
Social policy that reunites father and child must always confront itself with the question, 'Are we paying dads to stay, or to go away?'

I. L. Peretz
Your mom is the first person you fall in love with, so it's loaded forever and carries all this baggage. There's almost always a communication barrier in place. In my case it's a language and cultural barrier, but other times, it's because your mother's love is conditional or because you're fundamentally different.
