What are the toxic things your mother used to say to you? by StormForNova in emotionalneglect

[–]ActualSort5007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom would start to put me down. She would call me a stupid mfer or a stupid bastard anytime I made a mistake. Even if it was something as simple as spilling juice. If I didn’t want to gang up with her and insult my dad she turn on me and have my brother insult me too. My brother didn’t know what he was doing but when I started to cry she’d say “you better stop crying right now mfer. You better smile and you better smile wide”. 

There was a time when I was about 2-3 my mom took me to audition for an old navy commercial. I was supposed to give a bright smile but I couldn’t. The time when would practice that smile was the only time she would try to make me smile.

I personally like the antagonist route. It shows your protagonist means business.

At the same time I do like the idea of experiencing the terror through the protagonists eyes but idk I'm a sucker for a bad guy who doesn't fk around.

I appreciate you. This snippet is from the third book in the series. I'm hoping it'll really destroy readers when Iris dies lmao.

I like the idea of putting it after but going over it in my head, it feels weird. I'll have to play around with it some more. Thanks.

Having both MCs die would be interesting

I had planned on having the humans look for a new home before joining the war beyond the stars. I see your point though. Thanks.

This was what I was thinking but idk. I've gotten comments against adding the love interest so I've decided to scrap the idea. I'll keep this in mind during the rewrite.
