She Cut Her Off
When she turned 18, Samantha moved out against her mother’s wishes and cut off all forms of communication with her. That woman had left her fatherless and lost; and to make things worse, she still didn’t even know what she was hiding in that box.
So she carried on with her own life away from her mother: she graduated while working as a waitress, got a job as a Marketing Assistant, and met someone whom she ended up marrying. Her mom wasn’t even invited to the wedding.
