“Well, she seems a little better, though she’s got a long way to go. I haven’t had my actual talk with her yet, but I’ve convinced her to go shower and I’m changing her bedclothes and throwing her wet stuff in the laundry. Once she’s done showering, we’ll have our talk. I’m going to try and get her to apologize to you.”
“That’s not necessary, Mom. I understand why she did what she did. She has a right to feel upset, she probably thinks that I betrayed a trust she hadn’t even put in me. I’d feel the same way if I were her.”
“That may be, however feelings do not always excuse actions, and I would like her to apologize to you. You two always got along so well. If she goes through with this whole conference thing and decides she wants to embrace diapers and/or a babyish lifestyle, she’s going to need you there for her more than ever. Amends need to be made between you.”
