She had a terrible childhood. Both parents emotionally absent, and mom physically neglected her. Yes, they favored the prom queen/athlete sister. She was the rich kid, but alone. She's been in therapy since high school because of it. She loved my family because we were "normal."
Her and her mom had this ring made for her in high school shortly after we met. She wore it for about a year and hasn't for the last twenty years because she hated it. She wanted to melt it but never got around to it.
Guess what, the ring (after a 20 year absence) is back on.
