“If you’d had more than one child, you’d realize a parent always has favorites.”
- VIOLET WESTON
Violet is the mother and matriarch of the Weston family. She is addicted to several prescription drugs, mostly depressants and narcotics with a few Black Mollys thrown in for fun, and she has been known to crank up her favorite Eric Clapton album late at night. Despite the drugs, this is one sharp-tongued and shrewd mama, who knows all of the family secrets and ain’t about to hold back when push comes to shove.
