"I remember being jealous of Vince growing up because he figured out what he wanted to do with his life early on and made it happen. Through his career, he was able to meet the love of his life and settle down in a way that people found inspiring while I was the complete opposite." Chrishell sighs deeply. "I barely knew what was going on outside of high school and I found myself becoming a single mom having to work all these side jobs to make a living for myself. Vince tried to get me acting jobs but I turned him down because I was embarrassed."
"What was there to be embarrassed about?"
"What wasn't there to be embarrassed about?" She lets out a bitter laugh. "The sad thing is that I still feel like an embarrassment because I haven't had my breakthrough role or done anything substantial with my career."
"Everything that you do is great." I tell her. "I'm always captivated by your work and I'm not just saying that."
"Even my daughter gets better jobs than me." Chrishell takes a big sip of her wine. "I don't want to sound like a bitter woman but I am tired of cruising by. I just want something amazing to happen for me and I want to feel as if all my hard work paid off."
"Yeah." I place my hand over hers in a comforting manner as she fights back tears. "It's a good thing that you're moving closer to us because I would be willing to help, if you let me."
She fakes a smile, "I just want to feel good enough."
You and me both.
"Where is this coming from?" I ask as I redirect my attention to my food which is getting cold. "What's plaguing your mind?"
"I've just been reflecting more on my life but being with the family now and seeing how different our lives are just hit a little hard. You guys have such a beautiful home that many would be envious of but more importantly, you have a happy home." Chrishell looks at me with an unreadable expression. "Hailee is always away for work so I'm practically alone all the time and it gets a little lonely."
"Have you thought about dating?"
She grimaces, "I'm well into the dating scene and I'm about to leave it soon because it's not the one."
Moments like these remind me of how people put on a facade to save face and how we're all pretending to be ok. It is heartbreaking to hear how my sister in law truly feels and it hurts to know that she has never confided in me prior to this as I never want her to feel as if we are showing off our life to her.
