Unlearning You
If your father hadn't interfered in my life and forced that engagement between you and Raymond years ago, none of this would have happened.
Another message followed.
[Annie, your father was a selfish, manipulative b*stard, and you're exactly the same. Your whole family should answer for what you've done. Look at what happened. Your mother died. Your father ended up in a vegetative state. And don't fool yourself into thinking your luck will last forever.]
As I read the messages, I could feel the depth of her hatred pouring through every word.
Why?
I had already stepped aside. I had given up everything. Why was she still determined to keep pushing me?
