Like mother, like daughter

She used to be in control of her life. She made bad decisions, paid for them dearly. She married too early, had a kid too early, then another. 22 years and 2 kids, a husband and no school. She didn't know where she was going, didn't know what she wanted, except for escape. She left them, then came back to steal the kids back, to hurt her husband.

She used to be in control of her life. She made bad decisions, paid for them dearly and learned. She went to school and got kicked out, too busy with writing and talking on the phone to go to classes. She cheated on a guy, got burned and fell into a spiral of depression. She didn't know where she was going, didn't know what she wanted, except for safety and escape. She found her guy, got married too early, and tried her best. 22 years and too little school, a husband and no career.
