No sooner l got home from the hospital. Mom and I get into a huge argument about why wasn't Lena coming home with me, sometimes my mother infuriates me to no end. Mom can you please drop it, l messed up
By not making Brandon leave cause he was making Francesca feel uncomfortable by staring at her Stef
You can't be serious that's what you and Lena Arguing about. Sharon said
Yeah even after Dr. Matthews warned us about, l just don't expect Francesca to flip out like that. When I spoke with Brandon, he seemed to have l don't care attitude about the whole thing
I don't know what's going through that boys mind, he showed no ounce of remorse. We figured he could live with Stuart for a while, until things calm down with Francesca, joy wants me to come back to work. I might take her up on her offer, l'm not use to staying home. I have always worked to support my family, but l feel l'm failing them. In some way shape of from, and there's Lena she's holding everything together for Francesca's sake. I tell you I loved that woman more than life itself, but this right now here is breaking my heart not having her here stings like a bitch.
Mom Stef replies, maybe this apart is something you brought need at the moment. Stephanie l'm worried about you, how this taking a toll on you
When was the last time you and Lena went out on a date to a restaurant without the kids. I think you two could use a weekend away at this spa resort, before you say anything just here me out first l try to explain to my stubborn daughter. Dinner will work
But we just can't afford to go out of town, because Francesca is already experiencing separation anxiety, l hate what this man has done to my little girl. He left her feeling alone
Lena and I been trying to reassure her
Where coming back to visit her again the next day, therapy seems to be helping her some. We go to the sexual abuse support group and listen to stories, of couples who have experience what we been through
But l feel bad for all those families
