I’m not really sure why Ziggy puts up with me. I’m broken. Mostly because of the broken woman who spawned me. I swear, adults should have to get a license to make a kid. Prove they’ve got their shit together before they bring a child into the world. My mom tried, I think. She thought she could piece herself into something resembling a mother by dropping the drugs and dropping the need to feed her overblown selfish streak. But she failed. Rachel A. Marks
About This Quote

What I think Ziggy is trying to say, is that he doesn't think his mom was really committed to raising him. It's because she tried, but she failed. The first indication of this failure came when he was young, but the second came when he got older. This failure left him feeling bad about himself and not even his own mother wanted to be around him because he was so hard to deal with.
