Choices Like Rivers by Nancy Jackson
Chapter 17 Section 2
Sharon - October 1979
Will had worked to try to gain visiting rights for Sharon to see Molly Sue. But, Sharon had been right. They felt a clean break was best for Molly Sue.
Will had made inquiries and Molly Sue was having a hard time adjusting. The once happy and joyful child was now sullen and withdrawn. But rather than admit that they had made a mistake in removing her from Sharon’s home, they attributed her behavior as a result from having lived with Sharon. Further reason to keep them apart.
Little by little, Sharon had re-entered the real world. She went to work and did what she needed. Then she went home, ate little and drank her customary couple of glasses of wine, and fell asleep in her chair.
She had shut the room she had set up for Molly Sue, unable to even look inside. She had only looked one time and felt such a resurgence of pain that she knew she could never look in there again.
