“I can’t believe I’m this age and still getting tortured [by my mom]. I couldn’t sleep last night. I woke up angry. I’m exhausted… She said something to me that stopped me in my tracks and, in my typical little boy way, I went, ‘Okay, mom, I got to go, love you.’ And I was disgusted with myself. But I’m always — Even though she hurts my feelings, I’m always worried about her. It’s just f***** up.”
