Samandra
Where, pray tell, is the line between
care and control?
When do you say, "enough is enough"?
When do you have to back away, or destory free will?
Is it when she calls you, drunk and high,
begging for a way out of whatever she got herself into this time?
What about when you notice that she isn't eating again?
When she pops random pillls like M&M's?
When you see new lines among the scars on her thighs?
What about the second pregnancy scare in three months?
When, exactly, does well-being override choice?
Is it when you start to doubt if your words have any meaning?
When he blames you for her insanity?
When you watch her cycle through the self-destructive habits?
When do you tell yourself that it's for her own good?
That she needs to be controlled?
How do you live with yourself once you're convinced?
