The prompt:






My beautiful son… I still remember how I held him as a baby, lost in the wonder of tiny fingers and toes, his trust in me absolute. He was always so happy and bright.

Can he forgive me that I didn’t stand by his side?

My lovely daughter… still young enough to look up at me for guidance, but old enough already to doubt my decisions.

Can she forgive me that I didn’t stand up for her brother?

Looking into the mirror of my children’s faces I see the broken pieces of our family.

Oh God! What have I done?

I was really proud of Jennifer later on in the show but at first I didn't like her. I'm a mother myself and I can't believe that a mother would just stand by while her husband hits one of her children and then throws him out of the house. Thanks for your nice feedback, I very much appreciate it. Rena :)
