Joy didn't know how she was going to face her daughter's kidnapper in court. How could any mother ever take someone else's child?
She wasn't an angry person but she really couldn't wrap her head around that. She was angrier than usual at the thought of someone else's selfishness causing so much pain for such a stupid reason. More heartbroken than angry though.
No matter. Being angry never helped anything. Derek was the prime example of that.
Joy got Rachel back in the end anyway and she was doing okay. That was what mattered. Despite what she had been through, she was still a sweet, happy kid overall.
She was going to be okay and be able to have a good life. Joy firmly believed that. She was a lot tougher than she looked and determined to jump back into real life. There was no doubt she would be able to do it, even if it did take a while.
