question for library rick: how are things going between you and your beth? i know things were a bit difficult when you first came back.... are you guys on better terms now?
I think... “Better terms” is a good way of putting it.
I did abandon her as a child, and was out of her life for nine years after all...
I came back during a very stressful time in her life... Summer was barely a year old, Beth was struggling between finding a job and being a new mother... God knows Jerry wasn’t having any luck either...
Needless to say... When my sorry behind showed up on her doorstep, she was... less than receptive to having another mouth to feed...
I fully understand if she never completely forgives me... I mean... Who abandons their own daughter right after her mother is— ...
I... I’m doing my best... And I hope that..with each passing day things between us will mend some...
I... I hope...
