Why must you lie to me?
Don't I have a say?
All I want is for us to be friends.
You promised me that when you came back home that we would go and do "grown-up things," "go to plays," and "become friends."
You promised he wouldn't be back.
You promised that he would never hurt us again.
You would drop all the negative in our lives and quit the smoking and drinking.
Why did you go back to him?
Start smoking and drinking as soon as you were home?
Why would you do something when you know that it would ruin the small bond between us?
Please, Mom, just answer me this...
Why?
