Chapter - 22 Biased, bruised, and a bad parent. __________ As I sit on the spring bed staring out from the window of this hotel, I wonder what happened to me.

I'm not walking out of his office until I get what I want. He gestures for me to take a seat. "Sit down." I took the seat keeping my anger in check. "Who was it?
