Because what Cordell Carrington doesn’t realize is I am no longer the sweet, obedient little girl he raised. This time I am ready for him. I’m mad as hell and I want revenge. Jackson I’m not broken. True, the doctors can’t fix me. I can’t fix me. Maybe I’m not trying hard enough. Or maybe, just maybe, I can’t handle the guilt that comes with healing. None of this means I am broken.
