Dear Cali Chica:

There is a benefit to PMS then, yes, has been this time, for you.

It was absolutely impossible for me or for you, for any young child, to figure: my  mother is putting on a show. Young children trust their parents completely, the idea of a lie or a pretense was not formed yet, not an option, doesn’t come to mind.

We rejected softness, misunderstanding her shows to be softness. That suffering show, poor me, that was an exertion of force, it was hard, not soft.
