Megan was already feeling frustrated. When she heard Hannah taking Margaret‘s side, she bristled and declared, “Remember how you slapped me and stopped me from talking bad about her? She‘s just a piece of trash that you discarded, so she isn‘t even your daughter. Why are you siding with her? Do you feel guilty? You didn‘t even take care of her as a mother.
