(P) I wasn't a great mother I couldn't face raising my own daughter in a life with an abusive father he took everything I had so I took the only thing he wanted and that was you so I put you in foster care so you would have a better home the one home you would need instead of this

(Z) you sent your daughter away because you didn't have the guts to raise her my mom stepped in as a mother to cj she helped her with anything even if it was only during visits because CJ never had a home we lost touch then I found her but if my mom did this she could have come back for me but you never went back for cj now her finding you ten years later you never talking to anyone about her look at the life cj grew up with no paternts after age ten growing up in foster care that's not what parents should do to their kids you could have gone back to her
