Chapter 41. We don't talk anymore
Sarah had reaslised that it was pointless keeping ties with people who is not there for you when you need them the most. She eventually stopped talking to Mrs Daniels, her mother by name only. She had stopped being a mother fifteen years ago. Mr Daniels just didn't see anything change. He was oblivious to everything.Everything!!!!!! From character change,behaviour change,family falling apart,segregation and morals and values going down the drain. Sarah sat thinking almost every day, I feel like an orphan. Maybe I have been for the last fifteen years and just didn't notice. Finally her eyes were opened. She had lived in a dream world for so long. Her head hurt thinking so much. She sat with deep regret.
She should have cut ties with the Daniels the day she was forced into marraige.Was she holding on to broken dreams for so long. She should have never let them be apart of her childrens life. Is it too late to cut ties now?
Sarah's heart hurt but She knew that

Nash, Nat, Edith and her kids were at Sarah's place on a clear saterday afternoon.The air was crisp with an afternoon chill. They had planned a small sibling get together.

Edith could not help herself anymore. After the weekend she tackled their mother about the truth. Nothing was denied, but she questioned who told her.Sarah read the messages that Edith sent. They were straight forward.But she always had the feeling everyone assumed that she was the influence.Yes indeed, they did s**t to her, but no, she didn't walk around poisoning people against her mother. She clearly stopped giving two hoots a long time ago.Yes, it hurt but she was not going to let it cause a negative effect in her life. She had her own life. Her own family and no one was going to mess that up.After many messages, Edith clearly got the message that she was a write off from the family.

Sarah's days went on as usual. Although she now suffered from insomnia due to this whole saga, she was otherwise well.Everyday she would ask herself:''Was telling the truth so wrong? Was wanting the best for her father wrong? Did he actually know and chose to not see it? Should they have just said nothing and continued going there like fools? Did Chuck have no concience? Does her mother have no concience? What did they expect to happen when they asked the obvious questions? Why is it when we ask questions, it now becomes a sign of disrespect to elders? ''Sometimes in life you need to cut away from the people who bring about negative energy. You need to make room for the positive light.They had messaged Mr Daniels for his birthday, they even tried to call but his phone was off. He had really cut ties with them. All in the name of love. A love that was his no more. A love that he probably did not have from the very beginning. A love that was one sided.
