Maddie's cruel and dysfunctional upbringing prompted her to smother her children with love, to soften the blows of life, even when consequences would have been a healthier, more effective choice.- Were Maddie's children tailored from the fabric of her soft heart to abuse and take advantage of their mother, despite her enduring passion to love and support them . . . regardless of the consequences?- Or were they impelled to abuse their mother because of biochemical disorders and volatile eruptions in their neural centers?Perhaps Maddie's children were born out of a fragile fusion of the two.
