BoyMoms being BoyMoms.
@ask_aubry I mean that "You won, now you get him back" text to his mom was basically perfection. The period at the end of a goddamn sentence.
@briskide @ask_aubry I dunno, I think it would give mother a lot of satisfaction. I would never have ever said you won to her. Manipulators want that
@briskide @ask_aubry Yep. And I'd bet that Mommy "pleading her case" was much more focused on explaining why she/he did nothing wrong, not on how she/he will do better.
@briskide @ask_aubry She won but in a way that makes her look bad, thus the "pleading". Her darling boy is now an object of ridicule & scorn, not something she can spin. He will always resent this too so their relationship is damaged even as he comes back to heel. Ruined his family for nothing
@briskide @ask_aubry That was my absolute favorite part. 10/10. No notes.
