Chapter 23 - Lydia writes an apology

A year later, Lydia sent a letter through counsel.

She wrote:

I believed Heather because I already wanted to believe Joanna was turning David away from us.

Then:

That made it easy for me to see Louisa as evidence instead of as my granddaughter.

Strong sentence.

Then:

Nothing Heather did forced me to shave Louisa’s hair or put her outside. Those choices were mine.

I appreciated that.

Did it restore access?

No.

Accountability is not a key that automatically opens the door.

Louisa was four by then.

When her therapist asked whether she wanted to see Grandma, she said:

May you like

“No.”

So no.
