There is a touch of inevitability in this one and that sad and brilliant all the same.
I think you described her childhood pretty good. Always expecting to be caught but never being, looks like she was the responsible one out of many in her home, while no one say payed any attention to her.
Kind of miracle she can thank herself for she still turned up the way she did.

The end was so great, loved the thought that lying still makes her sick, she truly seems like a persons who hates to lie because she suffers by being too over-resposible.

Also, was absolutely stunend by this sentence, I could, sadly enough, never express myself this accurately as well as beautifully - Almost every day for the last three months, she’s walked through those gates afraid today will be the day that someone realises how she feels about Michael Scofield. That someone will discover something she’s said, something she’s done, and it will be all laid out for everyone to see

Thank you so much. I think her childhood would have been very comfortable on a material level, but between the hints we were given about her parents' relationship and her mother's drinking, it wasn't an easy one. It makes me wonder exactly when she and her father started drifting apart.

I would say the gap between frank and sara started later, maybe in her college years, maybe when she grew old enough to see that what happened to her mother was something she could blame on her father for not being around and care much. Maybe it was when she realized there were other parents, other fathers, who cared after their children differently, spent more time with them that she realized that something in THEIR relatioship was off, was different and at some level worse.

At that time,s he probably started being stubborn, oposing her father, testing their limits with each other of sorts.

Its hard to tell, but I would go with this probably. As a child, she certainly was a very obedient daughter who didnt really undertood what was going on at her home. She also, as in your story, was probably a person who had to look after herself. On the emotional level that it.

Nevertheles, your portrayal of her childhood was in my view brilliant. with so little information you did so much. *sighs* Got how I envy you...;)

Your thoughts mirror mine quite a bit here. I've thought a lot about Sara and Frank's relationship (I guess that happens when you write a lot of Sara fic, lol!) and I've always been very intrigued by the contradictions in their relationship. They loved each other very much, and yet when we met them, every moment together was a power struggle both of them were determined to win. She's spent her life alternatively trying to please and defy him, and it really, really makes me wish that Frank was still alive and kicking.

Lol, Ive spent some of my time wondering about their disfunctional relationship too and there was a time when the though couldnt leave me, this love-hate-power-struggle relationship they shared together and I was sad we didnt see it being more explored on the show.*waves her fist towards SWC for her 'last man on earth' statement
