Repression
You decide you shouldn't interfere too much, your sister should fight her own battles. You head home, and psyche yourself up for you inevitable battle with Mom.
You wait for her to arrive and no sooner has she walked in the door, she starts in on you.
The battle is long and hard. Mom's been doing this a LONG time though and you're merely a beginner. You eventually begin to weaken before her verbal assault. She rips you apart without mercy. You wonder where your sister is, she should've came home by now. You could use her help.
But she isn't here to help, by leaving her to "fight her own battles" she has done the same to you by staying at Butch's tonight. Butch managed to lie and charm his way back into your sister's good graces and she fell before him. Just like you're falling before Mom.
Mom finishes up, by saying if you ever pull any shit like that again, she'll throw you out of the house. Completely demoralized, you head upstairs to bed.
Everything you felt today has been stripped from you in a blink of an eye.
Another day breaks, and once again you feel nothing...
