Limited Time
Chris, who is still in prison awaiting his trial for Emily Gold's murder, only gets to see his mother two days a week now, Tuesdays and Saturday afternoons. On one particular Tuesday his mother informs him she will not be able to come visit with him on the upcoming Saturday because his sister, Kate, has a dance recital that she must attend. Although Chris doesn't admit to it, but he is jealous that his mom spends all week with Kate and chooses to go to the recital instead of coming to see him on one of the two days he can be visited. If you were Chris, would you be upset with your mother for not coming to see you or would you be understanding of her decision to go to your sister's recital?

I would still be upset. I know that there were other things that she would be worrying about and having to take care of. But still, I would be her child too, and not only that but I think that I would need her support more than my little sister who got to see her and live with her everyday. I would be angry and probably feel deserted. How could a parent do that, even if you had made a mistake parents are supposed to love you unconditionally.
ReplyDeleteI would be upset not only because she chose to go but also because I couldn't go wtih her. If I really hadn't done anything wrong and she could only see me twice a week I would want her to come every time she possibly could, I would be upset that she chose my sister over me. I would feel like my family really believed that I did the thing that I was accused of.
ReplyDeleteI might be upset but I would realize that it is my fault that I am in here and I would not want to punish my sister because of it. This would be a big deal to her and it is not her fault that I was locked up. My mother would only be able to juggle one child at a time and if I was the older one then I would just have to learn to suck it up. It is my faut not my familys fault.
