“I’m not moving away because I need to replace your father or… or I’m afraid to be alone or whatever else you can think of. I’m leaving to get away from all of you! You think I don’t notice all the eye-rolling and sighing and little looks you give each other every time I open my mouth? You’re constantly complaining that I’m manipulative and I’m controlling and I invade your lives. Well, take a good luck in the mirror, my darling children. I try to change one thing in my life, and you all launch so many covert actions, you might as well be the CIA! Oh, god, it felt so good to make a decision for myself without taking everyone else’s feelings into account… No, I’m doing this for me. And frankly, it’s about damn time.”
