Insomnia is a sleep disorder in which you have trouble falling and/or staying asleep. The condition can be short-term (acute) or can last a long time (chronic). It may also come and go.
Papa and Quinè both come from broken homes that affect their lives and sleep. You have one that has a parent that's a schizophrenic and the other has a parent that thinks her son is her man.
Emtional incest: Covert incest is a form of non-physical sexual abuse. The term could also refer to enmeshment, although the failure to separate the two have been pointed out as problematic.
Examples of covert incest could be the parent sharing intimate, graphic details of their own sex life to the child, practicing voyeurism, exhibitionism, inappropriate sharing of images, and similar behaviors that, while still being sexual abuse, are described as covert for their intangible nature. Covert incest is often difficult to detect.
Poppa's mama, Cilla, was heavily codependent on her son. Every move she made was ran through him, she told him about her sexual experiences with men, and didn't mind any woman he dealt with UNLESS he was serious with one. She literally didn't want to remove the tiddy outta his mouth.
Trauma bonds (also referred to as traumatic bonds) are emotional bonds that arise from a cyclical pattern of abuse.
Personally, l I feel what was so real about this, was that Papa and Quinè bonded with the family turmoil that went on around them. Strong and hurt people need people to make sure they're alright and these two did just that.
Listen, Brielle is a new author and this is her new book but give her a try... Not only did she create a storyline but it was also character driven. This was a 5 star read for me and she'll be added to my one click author list.
