npub1qqlvz9rl664djwa20gz9g9gar8us3c2hw5xurwv9lt24855je0sqy7nkgv (npub1qql…nkgv) It hits a nerve for me personally, since my mother frequently encouraged my father to beat me — once, when I was 16, to the point that blood ran down my legs — even when she knew that his behavior was abusive and violent. My sense was that she was willing to use and sacrifice her sons to mollify a violent, alcoholic man who was abusive to her, too.
