man: i got to know her, and we started talking about our kids. i told her about my little girl … she was six at the time. just the light of my life. and she told me to enjoy it while it lasts. that her girl was so hard … just difficult and it was the worst right then. she could hardly deal with it any more. she said it got bad after she stopped pretending.
