“Monsters are created by monsters”
Fridays and monsters usually go well together in horror movies. That’s why I was not surprised when I heard those lines last Friday night while watching the episode of Desperate Housewives.
Although it’s not at all a horror TV show but the episode focuses on a young teenage boy who strangles women in his neighborhood. That’s what made it scary.
I never watched Desperate Housewives. I don’t know the characters and never intend to know them. But I am glad that I was able to watch its episode last Friday. It made me paused and discern on important things like motherhood and death.
You see, the boy is not at all scary. In the outside he is a sweet boy and very polite. However, he has the tendency to cling to older women and seems to seek affection and love from them. It is when that he feels that he is betrayed by them that he loses control and strangles women.
Even to the point that he also strangles his own mother to death.
Such cruel and violent action seems unrealistic but towards the end of the episode it was clearly shown how the boy developed into a killer, a monster, because his mother, an alcoholic woman who disregards her son for alcohol, is also a monster.
Monsters are really created by monsters.
I felt scared after watching the episode, afraid to become a monster mother and making my children monsters. What a scary thought!
While my sons are sleeping that Friday night, I tenderly watched them and touched their hands making a vow to myself..
that I will not be a monster mother….
that I will summon every power that I have to be a good mother..
that love will be my sword in teaching them how to become better persons in the future.
Sleep well my darlings, mommy is here.. always.
don't worry, u will never be a monster mother..
