Sonia: Of what sweetie?

Erica: That my past is going to ruin my future....

Sonia: What did Cyn say?

Erica: That she wanted to go to therapy.

Sonia: And what did you tell her? I think that would be a good idea.

Erica: I told her I would but I wanted to talk to you and her mom first....

Sonia: But Why us instead of a therapist?

Erica: Because Ma you always know what to tell me and make everything better.

Sonia: Yes Honey because I'm your mom and it may feel like that but I can't heal you from this sweetie I just keep putting a ace bandage on something that needs a cast.

Erica: What You mean Ma?

Sonia: Means I got the tools to heal you temporary but you don't have a sprain which I can't go out get an ace bandage and Bam your healed Your broken inside my dear and I don't have the access or tools to make you a cast and give you the kind of treatment you need to heal properly you need someone who has that knowledge.

Erica: Ma you do great with me your fine...

Sonia: Erica listen to me sweetie I'm not fine I can't help you heal because I need help myself..... (Breaking down Crying)
