That ring was a placeholder, but what you didn’t know is, I was ready to make you my wife then.”

A possessive man, . . . he seeks to control you. He’s insecure and wants you completely dependent. He’s the type to tell you that you wouldn’t have shit if it wasn’t for him. He’ll make you feel like nobody else will ever want you and that you are too much. If it’s one thing I learned over the years, it’s to know what kind of man you have.”

You broke my heart when you left, and you broke it again by keeping my daughter from me. The love I have for that little girl made me forgive you. Not only that, I had a talk with my father about the whole thing. After you told me the truth, I could see where I played a part in all this. I don’t want to be angry with you.”
