“Dad never wanted you. If you had never been born, he would’ve stayed. I wouldn’t have had to grow up the way we did. I could’ve had piano lessons and summer camps and fucking pizza. But I didn’t—none of us did—because of you. And you don’t even understand what kind of sacrifice that is. Because you always had me growing up, when I needed my parents. I was a mom to you so you didn’t have to miss out, but I missed out on everything. You ruined our family—you made it so Mom and me and Dad could never be together.”
