Fuckedupedness

So they play on your guilt and your weakness and whatever emotional fuckedupedness exists in you.

In French slang, the phrase to describe not just disorder but utter dysfunction, irreparable fuckedupedness, became “C'est le Bronx,” literally, “It's the Bronx.”

It's your fault if you stay fucked up, but the foundation of your fuckedupedness is something that's been passed down through generations of your family, like a coat of arms or a killer cornbread recipe, or in my case, equating confrontation with heart failure.
