Augusten Burroughs Quotes About Mothers

• Cada vez que mi madre se volvía psicótica, esperaba que fuera la última vez. Después me decía: "Creo que ha sido el último episodio. Creo que he tenido un gran avance'. Y yo creía, durante unos meses, que era verdad. Que había vuelto para quedarse. Quizá era como tener una madre estrella del rock que siempre estaba de viaje. ¿Había hijos de Benatar? ¿Se preguntaban si la gira Hell is for Children de su madre iba a ser su última gira?
