Opis

The most insidious test of emotion in Betty's relationship with her son, Eddie, was pity love, spoiling him and disrespecting his bipolar condition all the way to middle age. She stopped caring for him altogether, when she discovered her feelings for his son, Tyler. She couldn't help herself, because Tyler, her grandson, was sweet and innocent, while her son had grown into a monster at the waterfront with his messy, unseemly habits, and sometime disgusting life. But who could blame her for loving a "clean Eddie," his son, who was like sunshine in her life, instead of a homosexual errant son, who captained his tugboat for thirty-five years on the Detroit River and the Great Lakes. At fifty-three Eddie wanted Betty to share her Trust, to make him half owner of all the assets of herTrust. She loved her company more than she loved Eddie, and knew that he would squander her money. Why botrher? She would outlive him, anyway, and if she relented to his wish he would spend it on his friends, which made up his waterfront life, it became a mortal struggle between mother and son. Mother and son, two fragile people with selfish dreams, who sought each other's money rather than love for each, where the weaker, the son, could not find sufficient love of life with his mental handicap, nor the internal strength to survive, when he was no longer the center of his mother's universe.
