I'm so sorry. I do know I'm not the only one that's been through such things, but the reminder today... It was more than I wanted to ever see again. If it's true, she was there watching.

I don't know. [Which is being truly honest in ways he hasn't ever been. Even with himself.] Having her expelled likely would not have made my life better. Not with upsetting her family. They aren't the kind of people most upset.
