“I didn’t have to take it. It’s a free world and she can say what she likes. I am very proud to be a homemaker. I was a full-time mom for 20 years and I am very proud of it. People are entitled to say whatever they want to say. Lies have speed and truth has stamina. I don’t need to forgive her. She is not a part of my consciousness at all. All these things do not exist for me, which is a good space to be in.”
