Ok, listen to this because it's very important... I, Zekio Bandlier, am
a controlling, paranoid scumbag... I've hurt my mother many a times out
of both ignorance, and fear. I love her with all of my heart, and sadly
because I feel that she is the only person who returns this love, she
gets the good side of me, and the hateful, blackened darker side of
me... I have called her a slut, a liar, insulted her, and abused her
mentally, NOT physically though as you may have heard. I admit I hit
mother once, a friendly joke slap when we were hunting together, but
never have I raised a hand to her in anger. Countless times I have
defiled her trust in me and made her feel horrid as no son should ever
do to his mother, and I ask you, Tekla, mother, to please forgive me and
accept me as who I am... I may never change how I act, but I swear to
you that I will try my hardest to. As for the rest of you, I hope you
too can forgive me for my wrong doings, I'm not a bad guy, just a little
confused... I hope you learn something from my mistakes, and take this
to heart...
