A review of the book: Educated, A Memoir:

The experience of Tara's mother triggered a lot of thoughts in me.
She married a man to escape her suffocating mother. Grandma was educated, elegant, or "frivolous"-- as Tara's father said.
People want to regain control when they are suffering. In puberty, they want it from their parents; In marriage, they want it from their partner.
Chose a husband or her mother to rely on, both intrinsically is the same choice. The reason the offender and the victim are both addicted to violence, or any dom/sub relationship is because they share the same illusion that they are a couple of mutualism. People either drown themself in this illusion or find him/herself scarily alone in this world.
And in fact, they are in a Co-dependency relationship.

I guess Tara's mother wanted to change her life all at once through marriage. Although escaping the environment you don't like, "be yourself" and "change yourself to adapt to the environment" is different, both paths have consequences to be taken. It's not the option that makes people different, it's the psychological drives of these choices. Otherwise, we can't rationalize why the author escaped the farms to go to college, and we think she made a choice to be happier than before.
People can fool around about many things, but what they really want (somehow I think it represents what they are) will eventually reveal.

A rReview of the bBook: Educated, A Memoir:

The experience of Tara's mother triggered a lot of thoughts in meara’s mother’s experiences made me think a lot.

She married a man to escape her suffocating mother.

Grandma was educated, and elegant, or "frivolous"--”, as Tara's father said.

People want to regain control when they are suffering.

In puberty, they want itndependence from their parents; In marriage, they want it from their partner.

I understand what you meant to say, but the way this sentence follows from the previous sentence, it could have been read as saying that they want to be controlled by others, not that they want to break free from that control.

Chose a husband or her mother to rely on,osing to rely on one’s mother or on one’s husband are both intrinsically is the same choice.

The reason the offender and the victim are both addicted to violence, or any dom/sub relationship is because they share the same illusion that they are a couple of mutualismin a mutually beneficial relationship.

People either drown themselfves in this illusion or find him/thermselfves scarily alone in this world.

And iIn fact, they are in a Co-codependencyt relationship.

I guess Tara's mother wanted to change her life all at once through marriage.

Although escaping the environment you don't likeWhen trying to escape a harmful environment, "be youring oneself" and "change yourselfing to adapt to the environment" is are different, bot things, and each paths haves its own consequences to be taken.

It's not the options themselves that makes people different,; it's the psychological drives behind each of these choices.

OtherwiseWithout considering the reason for making these choices, we can't rationalize why the author escaped the farms to go to college, and we might think she made a choice to be happier than before.

People can fool around about many things, but what they really want (somehow I think it represents what they are) will eventually revealand who they really are is always revealed in the end.
