Oh bullocks to all that. Parents are not supposed to be anything except exactly that, parents. People who chose to give their time and love to their child.
And you call your Mum a stranger but it works both ways, missy. You ever think that maybe your Mum would have told you more if you had asked? Or sat down and shared things with her instead of her getting random phone calls from others about you?

Because like you said, I was one of her secrets.
