What else could I have done?

[antlers]

The problem was, I was more hurt than angry.

Ignore what everyone else says about her.
Appearances mean nothing.

I've been way more hurt too, throughout all of this. She was able to use her anger and hatred as energy, a tool, to help her leave and create another life gor herself. It's kinda hard...impossible...to use hurt as energy, a tool, to do what I needed to do.

I will keep the other two things in mind. Thank you.
