Misty (1999)
“None of my friends, not even Darlene, ever thought anything was wrong in my home. It was actually quite the opposite. They all believed I still had the perfect little family. If they came over and didn’t see my father, they just assumed he was on another one of his business trips.
“Darlene has two younger sisters and an older brother. She thinks I’m lucky because I’m an only child. Her brother is always criticizing her. She says he’s afraid she’ll embarrass him somehow, and her mother is always... after her to set a good example for her younger sisters. She complains about her parents and her brother and sisters every time she calls me or I call her. Once, she even said she hated her family and she would rather be an orphan.
“People never know how lucky they are. I’ve been over at her house on holidays when they’re all together, even her grandparents on her mother’s side, and they have a great dinner and exchange gifts. Last Christmas Eve, Mommy and I went to a restaurant in Beverly Hills with my mother’s two other divorced friends and throughout the dinner, all they did was congratulate themselves for no longer being under their husbands’ thumbs.MoreLess
