The woman who saved me from myself has been pushing me to have dinner with her cousin, a woman I can confirm from photos is not hard on the eyes, and though it makes me a hypocrite, it concerns me that she's going through her second divorce.
The last thing I need to do is bring more drama home, because already I'm often in a courtroom, battling my bitter, angry ex for the custody of my teenage children. Kids that I left behind for years in order to save them from the mess I was, and returning to realize I have next to no relationship with them has been an unexpected blow. Especially since I have a past my ex preys upon; it's allowed her to control my interaction with my children for years.
When my daughter shows up on my doorstep, I'm overseas for work. I don't even learn she's run away from her mother's home for weeks, when Mia confesses she's taken her in and cared for her in my absence. Yet her involvement with my daughter frightens me, as I begin to understand that Mia is the caring figure we've never had, and she's been working to hold us together.
When the world begins to fall apart, we have to admit to ourselves that we both have demons: mine are dead, but hers are living, and they threaten to steal away from us what might be our only chance to make something good.”
