Julian Barnes. England, England (№ 302353)

The older the mistakes made, it's your turn to make yours. This rule followed a logical consequence, which became one of the paragraphs of a personal code Martha: when you're older than twenty five, to blame parents is prohibited. Of course, with the exception of cases when parents did something terrible - raped, killed, took all the money and sold to a brothel - but if you have a normal biography and a normal life, if you have an average ability to live and average mental abilities (if they're above average, so...), the parents or to blame not. Of course, sometimes still fails - far too great a temptation. If only they bought me the clips, as promised, if only they didn't forbid me to meet David, if only they were different, nicer, richer, smarter, easier. If only I was often patted on the head; if only I was often flogged. If only I was more praised; if only I was praised solely for business... No, to hell with these empty arguments. Of course, March was how used: sometimes it was tempted to pickets with the offense, but she immediately pulls itself. You yourself head, baby. Trauma - normal part of childhood. To blame others has long been prohibited. Prohibited.
