A prose poem about maternal emotional abuse. The picture is designed to look like an ancient textbook. It uses the Prometheus punishment myth as a metaphor for the toll of emotional abuse. It features art of Prometheus and the eagle.
Healing from an ✨unhealed mother✨ is perhaps the hardest task I have ever undertaken lol
(TW for mentions of parental alcoholism and gore as a metaphor)
