Jeannette Walls Quote
Mom, you have to leave Dad, I said. She stopped doing her toe touches. I can’t believe you would say that, she said. I can’t believe that you, of all people, would turn on your father. I was Dad’s last defender, she continued, the only one who pretended to believe all his excuses and tales, and to have faith in his plans for the future. He loves you so much, Mom said. How can you do this to him? I don’t blame Dad, I said. And I didn’t. But Dad seemed hell-bent on destroying himself, and I was afraid he was going to pull us all down with him. We’ve got to get away.
