Hell Raiser. 1973.

Hayes. 2010.

We were both laughing about it the other day, but I could tell he hasn’t forgiven me, even after thirty-seven years. At one point he even said, ‘You weren’t a very good mum, really.’ Kids! I just wanted him to be happy, have a bit of confidence in himself. I didn’t expect him to get hurt by her.

I guess I should have known you can never really trust anyone with ultrasonic eyes. That’s what my own mum had always said to me, but did I listen?

Sometimes I still feel so bad about it. Poor boy.
