I have just spent another hour in Shrink’s office, hearing about the benefits of anti-anxiety medication. Is that a shrink’s answer to everything? Just pop a pill and go about your day? Everything will be better? Why not cut to the chase and admit that the secret to life is to emulate everything your mother does because you are going to end up just like her anyway? A boozer who has to take anxiety pills.
My name is Avery Ambrose and I am a loser. Not the typical introduction you would hope to make, but hell, I have learned to tell it like it is. Something I actually did not learn from my mother. That is, I suppose, one difference between us; Mom never told it like it was.
