If my child gets in trouble at school, it's because the
teacher hates them.
If my child doesn't make the cheer team, it must be because she has short hair.
If my husband cheats on me, it must be caused by the medication he takes for a workman's comp injury.
If my son gets injured doing an activity that I know is dangerous and gets hurt, it must be the fault of the fireman who came to
help him.
If I
don't have enough
money to pay my bills, or for Club soccer, or cheer, or back to school shopping, or college, I will get my kids to lie about their circumstances, I will fill out faulty claims to insurance, I will pretend to be unable to work, I will over inflate prices of repairs and lie to my landlord.
I am a me
monster, how dare you focus on your life.
