My gma had a psychotic break after my gpa died when she was 82 and she kept yelling “I'm free I'm free thank you god I'm free” as EMS took her. my family doesn't like to talk about it
@queenerenjaegar I mean as forced as u can be as a woman born in the 30’s who can’t have their own bank account, couldn’t have a career because military husband moved around to much, indoctrinated with pentecostal ideology 24/7, and not allowed to handle any finances because she was a woman. So.
@vmmvjp It’s both! Her and the family (& me) love and hate him at the same time, the typical dichotomous human affliction. Abusers can have good moments that you reflect on even after their death.
Anyways, thank you for the thoughts.
@vmmvjp Yes, I do! I had to mention war because I feel like that is good background for what he saw/did and how that had far reaching consequences on him and everyone around him.
@sweetjoy26_@MrSage011 There was a bigger handle on it when my mom & me lived w/ them. When we moved out we went over often to just be there. He eventually quit drinking when he got cancer and mellowed out slightly towards the end of his life before dying. I think they were married for 50+ years

@HikariUber@3snupida Someone’s having a bad day and wants to lock in on a passing story from almost a decade ago not being perfectly recollected or described. Go bother someone else
@HikariUber@3snupida You got one remark from an entire weeks worth of inpatient statements from her. I do not mind that a stranger can’t grasp the situation, because you do not have all of the details.
@sweatermeather That was the first time in her life she ever said the word “Fuck”. She says it often now because it reminds her of “the year I was set free”.
