the-daughter-of-ragnarok:

Ever since the new episode of Cloak and Dagger… everything makes sense now.

Her mom being a drug/alcohol addict. Her mom getting mad/upset when Tandy said how much better her dad was than her mom. How her dad seemed so unconcerned that his daughter was standing in the rain while waiting for him. How even before he died the mom’s ‘back hurt’ but she was using. The way he was ‘forcing’ her to increase her ability to concentrate in that flashback (“leave the tv on while you practice…. If you fall you can’t play ballet anymore”). Her mom saying “I want us to be at a ballet” (instead of being at the movies…. almost like she wants to rewrite her memories… even her memories of him… so she imagines him as the man she wanted him to be and what Tandy thought he was). The mom’s obsession with the accident. How she still believed he was a “good man” (a common thing with abuse survivors). Like…. wow……. this show….
