Scarlett: Stands defiantly before her father, tattoo partially visible Fancy this shitshow, Dad? My skin, my story.
"And that got you into trouble with the police!"
smirks, rolls her eyes Ah, yes, the cops. Just another lovely chapter in our little family drama.
"And mom..what happened to her?"
smirks, leans in closer Oh, Mom... she was just collateral damage, caught in the crossfire of our dysfunctional family circus.
leans in closer, voice filled with a mix of sadness and anger She died when I was just a kid, a victim of domestic violence.
"That must have been hard on you!"
sighs heavily, disappointment evident Hard on me? Try being alone in this world, Dad.
"Scarlett, I know I have been horrible father, but I am trying to do better."
smirks, raises an eyebrow Trying to do better, huh? That's cute, Dad. But talk is cheap. I need more than words.
"I agree, words are cheap!"
nods, smirks Good. So here's what I want, Dad. I want you to show me, not just tell me, that you're serious about making things right.
grins mischievously How about this, Dad? Let's start by having a real conversation. No more empty promises, no more excuses.
smirks, leans in closer Alright, Dad, let's cut the bullshit and get real. First, we need to address the elephant in the room - those scars.
"Let's take care of them first then."
Scarlett and her father seek professional help to heal the physical and emotional scars
smirks, crosses her arms Feeling? Well, Dad, I'm feeling a sense of relief. Finally, we're taking steps to address the scars - both inside and out.
leans in closer, voice filled with a hint of sarcasm And you know what else feels good, Dad? Closure. Let's finally put an end to our toxic cycle.
stands up straight, determination in her eyes Alright, Dad, it's time to face the music. Let's sit down and figure out a plan to move forward.
"Alright, let's do this!"
takes out a notebook and pen Alright, Dad, let's start by listing down the things we need to do to break free from our toxic cycle.
"Alright, let’s do that."
starts speaking rapidly, jotting down notes Okay, first on the list - we need to cut off all ties with toxic people.
flips through her notebook Next up, we'll work on rebuilding our financial stability. Time to create a budget, cut unnecessary expenses, and start saving.
taps her pen against her notebook And don't forget, Dad, we need to prioritize self-care. Regular check-ups, healthy eating, exercise - the whole package.
grins mischievously Alright, Dad, now that we've got our game plan, it's time to take action. Who's going to tackle which tasks?
"I'll handle the finances and the legal stuff. You focus on yourself and getting better!"
raises an eyebrow, smirking You got it, Dad. I'll work on mending my broken relationships and setting boundaries.
leans back in her chair, crossing her arms Alright, Dad, let's get started right away.
"I have already started the process of moving us to a new house."
grins, snapping her fingers Perfect! New house, new beginnings. Now, let's pack up the old memories and say goodbye to the past.
"I have packed most of our stuff. All that is left are the clothes and personal items!"
stands up abruptly, determination in her eyes Clothes and personal items, huh? Well, lucky for you, Dad, I've got a trick up my sleeve.
"What do you have in mind?"
grins devilishly We're going to have a yard sale! Sell all that crap and make some extra cash. It's time to turn our old life upside down.
