God Bless Rudy Farias

I always feel a certain kinship with kids who escape or are rescued from nightmare parents like Gloria Williams or the Turpins.  While what those kids suffered was on a different scope and scale than my abuse, we all have lives that are stunted by the mental illness of our parents.  Our entire lives are about recovering from our childhoods.

My newest little brother that I didn't know about is Rudy Farias.  Thank God for Quanell X, who has obviously been a great help to this young man.  I wish he would be able to adopt and raise Rudy Farias from here on out.  It doesn't look like that's anywhere on the horizon, unfortunately, nothing of the sort.

I also hate the way this is being reported, that he's been found after being missing.  It seems to me more like he finally managed to escape after allegedly being horrifically abused by his mother.

If you watch the video, the complaints against the mother are absolutely horrific.  And I have no reason to disbelieve them, because that version of events would make all of this make sense.  The explanation given by Mr. X ties everything together, unlike anything the mother has been saying.

Based on the statements in the video, it sounds like Rudy has a very Borderline mother.  It's all too classic.  His complaints are summarized that she doesn't respect his boundaries.  She treats him like a slave.  Those were the exact words he used.  I knew the feelings all too well.  My mother treated me like furniture, like I was born to be used by her.

Rudy has alleged that his mother forced him to not only serve as her surrogate husband, but attend her job and perform her work duties for her.  Literally her slave, forced to meet her every need.  She gave him extensive mind-altering drugs for which he will need long-term mental healthcare.

Based on what I know from Understanding the Borderline Mother, and my own life with my borderline mother,  this unfortunately seems pretty clear-cut to me.  The Queen believes her children are her chattel property, existing to meet her demands.  They exist to fill the void inside of her, address the emptiness.  She does not feel ashamed exploiting her children financially any more than a literal queen is ashamed to exploit her peasants.

The worst part about having a Queen mother is the "off with his/her head" phase, The Witch.  When things don't go just exactly as the Queen wants them, the Witch comes out.  The child is then subjected to merciless, sadistic rages, as potentially evidenced by the burns and scars all over Rudy's body.  My mom walked in the door drunk and unleashed the demon on me, the one who visually reminded her what a bad job she was doing.

What upsets me the most, other than all of this, is that as of this writing Rudy's mother appears to have brought him home from the hospital.  He still seems to inexplicably be in her custody.  I don't understand why she isn't in handcuffs, or why he isn't in a care facility.  He's in my heart for sure.
