The solution is clear, you need to kill your father and fuck your mother

Eh, I thought you are going to recommend something.

Anyone? Please? I could use a little help.

Ok if that ones not good enough you need reconcile your perspective of your mother between her two primary roles as an (abusive) organising force and a source of affection and empathy and in turn you need to be able to see yourself in your father despite your differences

Understanding is established by seeing each other's narratives.
