Steve snorts in response. He doesn't hesitate to fill Peter in on why. "I know I was. I was a total pain in the ass growing up. I wouldn't have given me the time of day." He winces at the rest. It's hard enough to watch Peggy some days even if he knows it'll be old age that finishes her off. His mother wasn't an easy one either, but at least she had her mind until the bitter end. He can't imagine the pain Peter must have endured.
"That's a tough way to go. Anything involving the brain is just awful to watch." He shakes his head mournfully and tries to come up with a bright spot in all this. "But, at least you believed her, right? I think some days the only thing that helped my mom was knowing I never doubted her. I'm sure it was the same for her."
