When a Soaked StepMom Does Not Give A Fucking Fine Fucking Gift You May Want To Consider This: When your mom steps down from her high heels and throws a gift basket with only the things that she really needs and likes, it is not necessarily because she wants you to buy her a gift. If your stepmother has spent years emotionally and physically abusing you and your family, it does not necessarily mean that she is sad or lonely. In fact, when your stepmother decides to spend time alone or even be away from home for an extended period of time it could very well be because of an old grudge or even because of an ongoing conflict in her relationship with you. While these scenarios do leave some moms (and their stepchildren) feeling "stricken" or "fucked-up," it is more likely the result of the harsh realities of domestic violence than a deep desire for "stuff.".
