"Vonnie, I know you feel sorry for me, but I made these choices. Love can take many forms, not just one. I'm willing to be that fool. Over the years, your dad hasn't loved me, but I can't find fault with him in any other way. Perhaps this is also a punishment from heaven because I insisted on marrying a man who didn't love me. I'll just have to bear this suffering myself." "Why should you be punished? Dad married you for his own reasons. If there's punishment to be dealt, it should be to him!" "Vonnie, he's still your father. No matter what happens between him and me, he has never mistreated you. Please don't speak of him that way. Can you do it for my sake?" Xyla asked earnestly.
Yvonne wiped her tears away. "Mom, does he know you speak up for him? He only thinks of other women. Why are you so kind? Sometimes it really makesangry. If you weren't so kind, Dad might not have divorced you or been so obsessed with Sydney." "There are already enough bad people in this world. I don't want to be one more bad person," Xyla said.

ן" I just said a few words about Sydney, and Dad pushedagainst the wall and choked me. I almost died." Xyla clenched her fists in anger. "He actually harmed you over such a thing!"
