“I know. I-I just can’t figure out why I feel this way. Why don’t I want to see them?” Looking
into Colt’s eyes, I pleaded with him to have an
answer.
However, the sympathy in his eyes told me I wasn’t going to get that. Your entire life, you
thought they abandoned you. That is 19 years of anger and confusion that isn’t going to

expects you to just forgive and be their daughter again.”
“I’m not like Kristen. I can’t just have this don’t give a f u ck attitude and move on. I feel
things more deeply.” There was a part of me what felt like Colt always compared us
together. Even though he denies it.
“You need to find your own way of dealing with this but you do have to deal with it. Unless
you want to make them go live with Alec and Ice, they are our problem. I’ll even let you

wast right. I did need to find a way to move on.
“Deal with it how? Be the loving, forgiving daughter?” That kind of pis sed me off he said
that.
“I didn’t say that. I said you needed to find a way to deal with it. If that way is anger and
you yell at them, okay. If you want to confine them to their room, that is okay too but
ignoring this isn’t going to make it go away. I will support you in whatever you choose on
how to deal with this. I love you and this baby growing inside of you deserves to have a
home with zero negativity. Plus, we are living at our house anyway. Having them here isn’t
like we will be their neighbor.”
My hand went over my stomach. I had just found out I was pregnant yesterday. Colt was

“I wish I had someone here with me. As much as Sherry has relaxed and working through

“I thought you and Sherry got along?” Colt was puzzled by this.
“Oh, we do get along but she is still working through her issues. I can’t talk to her like I
could Emmy or Kris. Part of me still feels like she needs a mentor than a friend.”
“Maybe she feels like you don’t view her as a friend?” Colt said back
