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.
