Dear Cali Chica:

“She would tell us that unfortunately she is so scarred and miserable because she did not have this in her life, so she hopes that my sister and I find it”-

– and you thought, as a child, that she cared, that she would find some contentment if you had what she didn’t have, correct?

Similar to her saying that she didn’t have the opportunity to dance/ be on TV when she was a child (if I remember correctly) and therefore wanted you and your sister to dance, and your sister to be on TV-

– and that made you think, as a child, that she would have found some contentment in you enjoying what she didn’t?

Made you think she had love in her heart for you and for your sister…?

I will wait for your answer before volunteering my own.

*Regarding how her words affected your dating/ marriage- this is what I meant by you seeing yourself better when you see her better, when you see her as she is, more later.
