I will get my way too

The following is an excerpt from part two:

Perhaps Cole and his sister are familiar with The Adventure of Helen. They share the same unfortunate mentality; we suffer losses because they are determined to get their way. We are raped of our reputation and our status in the community. We are deprived of our home and our jobs. We are stripped of our future and our freedom. We plead to the molestation charges as a matter of survival and have learned to embrace the outcome.

They have no idea of the ripple effect their stunt has produced, nor does the concept of care enter the equation. Considering the benefits I have acquired, I would not exchange a strand of it. As on the TV show with irrational complainants and with our dear “friend” Helen, nothing else matters. For her and our (x) kids, retaliation for imaginary unfairness becomes an insane obsession. I want my way.

Be it a conscious or unconscious choice, productive or destructive, I will get my way too. We all will.
