“But why pin all the blame on me? You indulged me because you wanted to. That’s on you.

“Can you honestly say you never despised her when you learned where she came from?”

“You didn’t just look down on her. You humiliated her

deliberately. Clothes I didn’t like, hand–me–downs I refused to wear, you gave them to her.”
