How do you react when your mother looks you in the eye and tells you that having you is her worst mistake in life?
What do you do when your mother tells you you are the reason her marriage isn't working out?
Layla knew she wasn't loved by her parents, but she didn't think the hatred ran this deep.
All these years, her mother saw her as a mistake. She is not supposed to be surprised as her mother always treated her like a mistake. But hearing her say it with her mouth, hurts way too deep.
"A mistake? That's all you see me as?" Layla asked, her voice shaky.
Her mother ignored her as she took a long swig of her drink.
"A bloody mistake! That's what you are!" Her mother kept repeating it for it to sink in.
