Good Enough Mom: A Haunting Domestic Psychological Thriller by Lyda Odessa instant download

<p><em>Marriage would be my way out;</em> a chance to leave my mother’s control behind. But with Harold, escape became another kind of cage.</p>
<p>The Parkinson’s diagnosis was only the beginning; the pills meant to steady him unlocked something darker. Now, his world is stripped of logic; his eyes slip past me, and his whispers crawl with paranoia that swallows the light. <strong>Schizophrenia</strong>, they call it. I call it living with a stranger.</p>
<p><strong>Then there’s our son.</strong></p>
<p>All bruises and silences, injuries that multiply whenever I look away. He weaves stories sharp as razors, desperate for my attention, desperate for something I’m never quite able to give. Every day, I wonder: Do monsters make themselves, or are they passed down in blood and lullabies?</p>
<p>I try to be the <em>good</em> mother. The <em>perfect</em> wife. Most days, I fail. The walls echo with laughter that isn’t mine, with threats from Harold’s fever-dreams, with the sound of my son’s breathing behind locked doors. The sick don’t rest in this house; they multiply, secrets breeding in the shadows.</p>
<p>With every sleepless night, I lose pieces of myself; torn between the husband whose mind is crumbling and the child dancing on the edge of something worse. This time, survival means deciding who I’ll betray first: my husband, my son, or myself.</p>
<p>Some houses are built to keep families safe. Mine hungers for a <em>perfect mother</em>—or none at all.</p>
<p><strong>What if the true danger isn’t Harold, but the boy we raised in his shadow?</strong></p>
