DOREEN POV
"Don't say you warned me mother! And don't look at me like that please, this isn't the time for it at all, everything is falling apart and we can't keep folding our arms!"
"Sylvia is calling me incompetent and she's no longer agreeing to meet or even pick my calls, I'm so stuck and she's trying to cut out herself all of these!"
"Your breathing and pacing is making me too scared, you need to seat down if you want me to be able to think properly so as to help you,"
My mother sounded so worried and frustrated but I sighed in relief and sat down on one of the closest kitchen stools when she stopped talking.
The fact that she didn't try to judge me or scream at me for not listening to her is a cause for celebration, I wouldn't be able to take it, I would break totally if my mother jabbed at me.
I'm already in so much pain and confusion as it is now.
