Kindle Notes & Highlights
No one ever tells you how complicated it is being a parent. How much energy it sucks out of you. The toll it takes on a marriage. Somehow simply growing up in a family isn’t such great preparation for having your own.
He remembers clearly the first time his dad hit her.
Like in small towns everywhere, Gully sighs to herself, the mindset can be narrower than in a large metropolis.
And he knows his own thoughts run awfully dark at times lately – thoughts he wouldn’t share with anyone.
She knows that it’s not necessarily the ones who seem different that you need to be afraid of – it’s the ones who can carry off normal without anyone suspecting a thing.
Kids turn out the way they’re going to turn out, despite their parents’ best efforts and intentions.
Why do men always think they should be forgiven? That they only have to ask?
