My mother used to make me watch scary movies with her to toughen me up.
Gave me nightmares for years.
PugMary sounds like a difficult woman to grow up with, sorry you had to go through that.
She was a single mother with somewhat archaic ideas of what a boy should learn from his father, and as I had no father in the picture, she took the task upon herself.
It was a mixed bag. But she was sincerely trying her best out of parental love, and I didn't turn out too fucked up, so mostly I look back on it with amusement.
