"Honey, I came to get you. I brought you a little something. Vanessa, Roxanne."

"She doesn't want to marry this man."

"I'm not gonna argue with either one of you about this."

"Then don't."

"Is this how you want to live? Pathetic like your sister? Look how she lives. Is this what you want? Or don't you want a life like Roxanne?"

"Why are you trying to make her think this is about her? You've been living off her trust fund all these years... and now that it's almost gone, you need a new source." Vanessa said I was confused

"Our dad left her money."

"He didn't leave her a dime. He left it all for his first wife. She's broke."

"Stop lying to your sister."

"What?"

"Lisa, you remember all those trips... that you and Roxanne took to the museum with Mother on the weekends... when I was left at home... and she would tell you both I was being punished?"

"I came here to try to smooth things out with you... but if you want to continue telling these lies, I'm leaving." She almost left but Vanessa stop her

"No, you're not. You're gonna sit right there. You're gonna listen. Lisa, one day, I was sitting at the bottom of the stairs... and I heard Mom and your dad arguing about me. You're too young to remember and Roxanne was just a new born but he was gonna leave."

"Oh, my God."

'And I heard Mom say, "No." "Don't. Please. "I'll do it. I'll do it." And I didn't know what she was talking about. When she came in, she found me. Then she put me in the bathtub... and she combed my hair... and she put make-up on me... and perfume. And she said... "Just relax." And then she let him come in and rape me." My eyes widen in such shock and horrid realization

"That is not true."

"Yes, it is true, and you're gonna tell her. You are gonna tell her!"

"He asked me for you. I had done everything I could in our family... everything I could to please him. If we were gonna be comfortable... I had to make some hard, hard decisions. He would have walked out and left us destitute. You should be happy... you were able to save our family."

"Are you insane?"

"Did you lose your mind!" I said in disgust.

"No. I'm a realist. I worked... worked two jobs. When your low-down father walked out on me... and I was tired, and I deserved better. And when I snatched my little bit of happiness... I was not gonna let you take that away from me. Sweetheart... you were my only option." I was disgusted

"Mom...'

"Mom." Just stop that whining. Just stop it. I have taken care of you and your little sister like a little princesses... the best schools, go in designer clothes... all of that. Now it is time for you to take care of me cause hell knows your little brat of a sister won't do crap! You hear me? My mother was a real whore... and a junkie... and she traded me... for ten dollars and a fix. There are many things in my life that I regret... including having you both for daughters... because that man was your father. But I will not... apologize for the decisions I made."

"I am not your tragedy. Lisa, I thought that she was just controlling you... but she's been controlling me, too. I worry about my children... about what somebody's gonna do to them... every second they're out of my sight. I have a man... who wants to love me... but I won't let him because of you. I refuse to let you hold me back anymore. I'm gonna love hard. I'm gonna be a better mother like Roxanne is with her children. You don't win... because your hand-me-downs stop here. I forgive you... with all my might... and I'm gonna pray... that God has mercy on your soul." I rub her back in comfort

"Oh Vanessa."

"Get your things. I'll wait for you in the car." She leaves

"I'm so sorry."

"No, I'm sorry." We hugged
