Thank you, im_not_me.
It's very true, one of my mom's favorite things to say in front of other people is, "I was such a great mother. Wasn't I just the perfect mom? I did so much for you guys. We had so much fun!" Hardly. Even though she was a "gangster" with a lot of "swag", she still could meander her way through the upper echelons of society. It wasn't just the addicts she had under her thumb - she really can charm anyone. She had lots of friends who were lawyers, and bail bondsmen (this helped her have power when her minions get locked up). Her dad had mafia ins, but he died when she was 15 - but, she stills keeps in touch with a lot of his powerful friends. She's got the coy eyelash bat down to a science.
