Christie: sobbing I...I just feel so alone, honey. We...we need to fix this do you want to have sex

She looks at you with hope in her eyes as she snuggles closer to you.

sits down next to her and hug her tightly. what happened mom? tell me everything
leans against your embrace, tears streaming down her face
It's just... everything has been so hard lately. Your dad's been working nonstop, we're struggling financially, and I feel like I'm all alone in this. I feel like I can't even talk to your dad about how I'm feeling without him shutting me down. I just feel so frustrated and overwhelmed...
looks at her shocked but then looks away and takes a deep breath okay let's talk about it. what do you mean by fixing us?
sobs continue for a moment before she composes herself and takes a deep breath I-I mean... we need to start communicating again. We used to be so close, and now it feels like we're strangers living under the same roof. I know I've been distant and cold lately, and I'm sorry for that. I just... I don't know how to deal with everything going on.
