MLC? Maybe you can tell me...

Wow, it's hard to believe she can't actually grasp the meaning behind Lemonade - it's not like it wasn't all over the news when the album came out. Like I said, I'm not even a Beyoncé fan and I knew all about it. The part of the album that resonates the most for me is the video intro for "Sorry" which is spoken word of the following:

"So what are you gonna say at my funeral, now that you've killed me? 'Here lies the body of the love of my life, whose heart I broke without a gun to my head. Here lies the mother of my children, both living and dead, rest in peace my true love, who I took for granted. Most bomb ****, who because of me, sleep evaded. Her shroud is loneliness. Her God was listening. Her Heaven will be a love without betrayal.'"

Sometimes I just listen to the beginning of the song, just to hear that part.

D12 has always been very attached to H. She is his "mini me" whereas D10 is my "mini me" both in looks and personality. I've struggled with my relationship with D12 because our personalities are like oil and water and because I shouldered a lot of the burden of her difficulties and am the disciplinarian. She gravitates to him because he isn't the one nagging her about homework, bedtime, etc. Has she taken sides with him? Maybe. I thought about asking her if she blames me, but she may be too young yet to even process what that means. I'm trying to keep the structure at home the same as before he left - still on her case to pick up after herself and do her homework. I think she might think she should get a pass, as she certainly does with him as he no longer feels the need to parent in that respect. So yeah, maybe.
