Dear Day:

I am glad you don’t want your mother to do the same to your own daughter.

I didn’t understand her reasoning behind not giving you that necklace, you not being old enough.. what?

Regarding the tree, interesting that you wrote: “When I was younger I would sit under the tree outside of her house… I asked her why she’d always wanted a big tree in front of her house…”-

Not your house, your home, but hers.

It may very well be that just like you wrote, she “likes to push (your) buttons”, in other words, she enjoys causing you pain.
