Aww :( I think this is the first time I've felt anything close to sympathy for Rebecca. I think maybe we all have times like that. Nicely done :)

I do feel bad for Rebecca, and frequently. She was honestly doing the best she could. It wasn't the right best, but it was the best. And she did come back.

Thank you!

She's aware of the effect all her choices had, I think, and she does own up to that and take responsibility for it. Rebecca is honestly just trying to make the best of a very bad situation. It's unfortunate for her that she just can't.

And no, if she hadn't come back things would not have gotten better. I honestly don't know what Frank would've done with the kids but it would have been nothing good.

Thank you!

Agreeing with the commenters above me--this actually made me feel some sympathy for her, which I haven't done much of before now. I'm wondering about what would've happened if she hadn't come back, too.

Great work!

Bad things. Many bad things. Rebecca at least takes responsibility for her choices and her actions. Frank... doesn't.

Thank you!

:( Poor Rebecca. Her situation is truly awful and I don't blame her at all for having a freak-out like this. That's just way too much stress for one person to handle. Even if she did it badly, she still tried and she still went back. I found the second and last sections especially gutting.

It was very, very hard for Rebecca, her whole life, and she honestly did the best she could, but sometimes you just snap. Thank you.
