She's not our biological mom, our dad created her so she's technically an android. She can feel emotions--she does feel them. She took care of us better than he ever did or would have or could have. Gave us all names. Before that we were just numbers, and if she hadn't come along and thought to actually give us names, that's what we would have been called.
So for twenty something years, she stayed in the house. Didn't leave. That was her life. I love her, and I know she loves all of us, but it's. Complicated.
