Actually this was my birth-mother (hence the "son-of-a-bitch" line), and her daughter is my sister. I just didn't want to spoil the reveal that early in the story.
She really was a crazy, crazy loon. And very good at pulling the wool over most people's eyes. I think she disliked me the most because I saw through her bullying ways and stood up for myself (and my sister) and because she couldn't physically hurt me very much (I got used to pain).

For what it's worth my dad has re-married and his new wife is a lot better all round. He's certainly a lot happier. As it happens I'm going to the wedding of one of my step-sister's this weekend.

It must be hard to come to terms with the fact that...
...your mum is a bit of a mentalist?

Kudos.

Good story too

Sometimes ...
I went through a phase of calling her my spouse's mother-in-law as I didn't consider her to be myh mother (she gave birth to me, but she sure as hell didn't do much else), but I'm over that now.

On the plus side, though, whenever anyone insults my mum (which still happens, even though I'm in my 30s now) I have a great excuse not to be in any way upset by it.
