Chapter 78

• "I'm upset with Robert on the way he treated me. I really thought we had something. Looking back like I said, I wanted him to want me. At first it was a job but I thought if I became a little more, he would want me."
• "You can't replace the love you wanted from the male figure in your life, your father. Your father probably did love you. He may not have showed it, but only he could answer that. A bond between a daughter and father is special. The daughter wants her independence while the father wants her to stay that little girl. Sometimes it becomes a struggle of letting go. No one could ever replace him Cadence. You can try as hard as you can and believe it in your head but it will not work. I know."
• I had to look down at my feet. Maybe my dad did have a sprinkle of love for me, but I was too upset and disappointed in him to see it. He didn't seem like the type to be all lovey dovey or maybe it was a strained relationship with my mother. She never talked about him as if she hated him but he did seem to care for her.
