This one will stick with me. She’s so sad and broken. And her family sucks.

Well done.

Very intriguing piece. The contrast between poor parenting as a child and judgemental parenting as an adult is great (and so very true from my experience working with kids from messed up families). One suggestion – “over overly sweet cocktails” might read better as “over too sweet cocktails”. Just a thought.

I wasn’t sure about the first part, about her life before. It didn’t seem to fit with the rest, but that just might be me. I liked her retort about scars. There are always consequences, even if we don’t want to see them.

This reminded me of one of my grandfather’s favorite expressions, “you can’t screw an old head on young shoulders.”

Youth is a time of learning or at least we hope we learn from some of these moments.

I’m glad you linked up! I like that even with the details of her indiscretions you left so much unsaid, like the relationship with her mother. Maybe with a little more direction and not so much judgement, Sharon wouldn’t have had to learn each of those lessons over and over on her own.

We all have scars from decisions made in our youth. She answered it much sweeter than I would. ‘None of your business’ would have been my answer (with or without the F word involved.)
