I'll just put it here because it's my thread and nobodys reading it anyway, but I've always wondered about Morrissey and his mom. If my theory is correct and he's different, similar to the way I am talking to God and all, does she know? Does she humor it? Or does she do what my mom does and only acknowledge it in a special way? I mena if he's different, she would or perhaps his father would have to be similarly different. In my case my mom exhibits what normal people percieve as schizophrenia, but she's highly functioning. For instance my whole life she'd dip into this voice that talked about "unions" and "marriage" and "sacredness" and all this weird stuff I didn't get at the time, then I was removed from her presense, educated about the occult and her ramblings made more sense, but then she stopped rambling about it once I started working on it. Every year as a kid growing up she'd give me a piece of luggage because I was "going to go on a journey.. To where mom? You're acting nuts again.
But today, I'll call her and ask how her day was and she'll explaim it was WONDERFUL and when I ask why, she'll say, "Oh nevermind." like she's in on a secret and won't tell me. Or she'll say when I lament that I'm wasting my time housesitting and talking on message boards to people hoping they're getting what I'm saying "Oh, it'll be over soon." To most people this would sound ominous, but when you've grown up with my mom, it's just her prophesizing. She KNEW I was living in hell with Evan, yet she enabled it because I think she knew he was teaching me (without him even really knowing it) how to be a Mary Magdalene. Like sometimes I wonder if maybe she was destined to be her, but just didn't have the resources to figure out the code, because she used to say things similar, that blue cars and different than red cars, part of this code I've nailed, but way back in the 80's when I was a kid. And she was hospitalized once, I think she tried to take her life, then my dad swept in, took her out of Los Angeles and back to Pennsylvania where I was accidently born and maybe, her role in this fell into place. That's why I always cry when I hear the end of Hand That Rocked the Cradle, it's like God assuring me through Morrissey that he did the best he could for my mom. I lose it, because he did, she's a pistol. My key to her house is DEFIANT. My key to my dad's house is KWIKSET. My key to this house is AXXESS. So today she's a house cleaner at almost 70 and buys lots of clothes she never wears. When I ask her to clean out some of the closet, because we have to share, she refuses because she's determined that some day, she's going to have an occassion to wear all those pretty clothes, she just knows it.
Anyway, I wonder if MOrrissey has experienced similar situations and he's basically alone in this like me, or does his mom know that he's special. I mean we're all special and my mom knows I'm specialbut she doesn't know the conclusions I'm drawing and how she fits into these paradigms and whatnot, and to tell her would probably just frustrate her, but if she had an occassion to wear her pretty clothes, I'd be the happiest daughter ever.
