Chapter 23 - Olivia’s Anger

Olivia recovered physically within days.
Emotionally?
Different.
She became angry at medicine.
Any syringe.
Any liquid medication.
Even antibiotics months later became a problem.
Rachel worked with her pediatrician and therapist.
Show the label.
Explain purpose.
Let Olivia ask questions.
Never hide medicine in food.
Never call it:
just trust me.
That phrase had been damaged.
At eight, Olivia needed medication for an ear infection.
She asked the doctor:
“Did my dad write this?”
The doctor answered:
“No.”
“Does Mom know?”
“Yes.”
“Can Emma know?”
Rachel almost cried.
“Of course.”
