“ | I need you to understand. Nothing's been easy for me. Even before all of this, it wasn't easy. Dad bailed when I was nine. Mom remarried at nine-and-a-half. And dad number two brings an evil stepbrother. And they both... start acting like they're my dad, you know? A lot of yelling, a lot of shoving. And my mom... just, like, lets it happen. Just to keep him around. So I raise hell. I mean, all the time. Now new dad and new bro start tying me up, throwing me in a closet when I acted out. Leave me there for hours. I'd piss myself sometimes. So they'd take turns... beating me. And all I'd hear was, "Juanita, there's a roof over your head." "Juanita, the bills are paid." "Juanita, it could be worse." Well, you know what? Fuck that thinking. It could better too. It should be. Right?
―Juanita talking about Dougie with Michael Mercer.[src]
