Review: Could have been much better

A well-written description of the forced interaction between an estranged son and his mother in which she relates a family history that he'd have preferred not to know.  That being said, even for a short story the ending seems abrupt.  I think the story would be more compelling if we were able to see the son act on what he now knows, perhaps with some unintended consequences of his actions.
