One Hot Mama
Losing all your memories and material possessions in a house fire is one of the most devastating things that can happen, not to mention the trauma of trying to escape the blaze if you’re unlucky enough to be trapped inside when it starts. The leading cause of house fires is unattended cooking, followed by heating equipment and faulty wiring.

Pyromaniac arsonist mothers probably aren’t on the list of leading causes, so we don’t blame u/dirvam44 for being shocked to learn that his mom repeatedly tried to burn the house down. In another comment, they speculate she did it for the attention because their dad was away too often for her liking.
