Yes, the old “I am the patriarch and my family are my chattel to do with as I please!” Heck, didn’t God call on Abraham to demonstrate that by killing his own son? Didn’t God himself do that with his own only son?

I heard that phrase a lot more often from my mom, usually because my dad wasn’t anywhere near stupid enough to claim any part in bringing me into this world, given what my mom went through.
