Casualty of Borderline Mother Painting


Here is a painting which is an abstraction of my oldest brother holding his first grandchild. In the photo he has a despondent stare. He seems disconnected to his granddaughter and his wife, who took the photo. He is emotionally disconnected from his family. According to my parents, he was "the rock" and "on the rock, they built the family," which meant being tethered to a Borderline mother who kept him by her side and without friends. Although our mother has been dead for years, he remains in her service, chained to patterns of thought and trauma forged early in his life as the chosen one.
