k’ehleyr, i know sasha has sent asks about you here before but i wanted to weigh in (not an ask response, but related to other confessions under our custom tag).
what the hell did you do to her? a daughter doesn’t disown her mother that easily. she doesn’t call her stepmother “mom” if there’s an ounce of love for her mother left in her.
i’ve heard the way sasha talks about you. she’s cried on my shoulder asking why you couldn’t love her. i can’t answer that question for her.
i love sasha. i love her as if she was my own flesh and blood. i can’t understand how anybody could treat her the way you did. and she was still so small when you died. you hurt a baby in a way it’s taken her entire life to recover from. how could you?
i never met you, k’ehleyr. from what i hear, i don’t think i’d like you. certainly, if i were to meet you today, i’d hate you. but maybe there’s some timeline where you loved your child. maybe, in some other life, she would have spoken highly of you, and you’d still be her mom.
in this timeline, though, i’m honored to have her for a daughter. i’m sorry you couldn’t see her for the beautiful, amazing girl she is.
