Destiny By Accident
I asked my mother if she had always been like this, deranged and oblivious to how the world perceived her many lunacies. Behind closed doors, I was able to weather the storm that was my mother; but even in front of people she was unable to put up a facade and follow society's norms.
The people in town looked at her with questioning eyes, the mothers at the school wondering how tragic it was that she had put her only child in such unfavourable circumstances.

From the start with her mother, to her temporary day-to-day with her job, and clearly in her unwillingness to face criticism from her own
