CHERYL's POINT OF VIEW

I built up the courage to finally go and talk to Caiya about what had just happened 20 minutes ago.

After that, I feel as if she probably hates me even more but I can't act like it didn't just happen. I had to talk to her.

I knocked on her door and I didn't get a response to it. It was silent and so, I just slowly opened the door to her room.

I saw her harshly packing her back that was on her bed and wiping away her tears at the same time.

"Baby girl..." I said as I cracked the door and walked over towards her.

She didn't say anything. The room filled with her sniffles.

"Caiya, I really do apologize. I should have never slapped you and it was completely wrong of me. You have to know that some things that you say honesty hurt my feelings. You're about to be 18 soon and you're still holding my past against me. I messed up, baby. I know that I did but you...can't hold it against me. Forgive me somehow. What did I teach you when you were little? Hm?..." I asked her.

She didn't say anything. She continued to face her back towards me and continued to pack her bag.

"I told you that forgiving is something that we all need to have in us. Everybody deserves forgiveness and...I want my baby girl back. I want our close relationship back but I can't get that if you hold this against me. I'm trying so, so hard to get it back but you won't let me. I'm your Mommy and-..."

"And what?" She said as she looked back at me slightly over her shoulder. "You never asked me how I felt, you never asked me how this effected me and you never cared to take our feelings into consideration. You broke something that meant the entire world to me...our family. We don't bond anymore and nothing is the same. I don't think that I've laughed, smiled or anything since that day that you and Daddy told us about you two separating and getting a divorce. You never checked on me and then you and him act as if nothing bad came from it. Something bad did come from it, Ma. It did and I try...." She said as she then sat on her bed. "So, so hard to forgive you but I can't even if I tried. It's hard. I feel as if you were never there for me. Maybe for a moment but once Shemar came back into the picture a long time ago...your kids weren't a priority. I can't help it but I feel as if I have no choice BUT to be mad at you. Like...I have no choice BUT to hate you. Then, you lied on me...that's the one thing that I can't stop replaying in my mind is when you turned my own Father on me to believe you. How can we build a relationship after all of that? Huh? After you lied, cheated and then slapped me. How can I forgive you for that? Teach me because God knows that I want to but I can't. You told me about forgiveness when I was younger but you never taught me how to put it into motion when it came to moments like this. What is forgiveness if you can't even forgive your own Mother?" She explained to me.

After she said that, the doorbell rang.

"That's him." She said as she grabbed her things. "Excuse me." She said to me in a low but surprisingly respectful voice. I moved out of the way and she walked out of the room and down the hall.

I stood there and felt numb after all that was said.
