 ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS? 
 

KILL YOUR OWN MOTHER

TEEHEE HERE’S A SLAP ON THE WRIST 
 Nah, this whole story is sad. Her mom was very abusive and was scamming the government for gibs. 
 See, this is always going to be one of those stories that conflict with me. A mother should never put her daughter in a situation where her daughter might kill her for it, but Goddamn at the same time that just sounds so extreme to me. 
 She shouldn't had her boyfriend do it, she did manipulate an autistic person to murder someone, and that was wrong. But on the other side, DeeDee trapped her in the home, made her sick with meds, lied to her since she was 5, Gypsy didn't even know her age until she got arrested. 
 Fair enough. Matricide is always going to be a very heavy topic with me. I don’t like the whole damn situation to be frank about it.
