A second chance at Motherhood

“It could not be clearer,” your mother continued, “that God has finally answered my prayers. That he has gifted me a chance to redeem myself for failing to raise your sister to be a proper Catholic woman.”

The fact your mother felt shame over how Glen turned-out was definitely a shock to you. After all, it wasn’t like Gwen was some loose hussy who went around desecrating churches and killing babies. She was, by all accounts, a well rounded and modest woman. Sure, she didn’t regularly go to church, and she definitely wasn’t the ideal “devout housewife” that your mother was. But you had no idea your mother felt this way.

Maybe it wouldn’t be so bad to entertain this idea your mother had. Perhaps doing so could help her in some way? You certainly didn’t have anywhere else to be right now, and how much harm could she really do? Hell, you might even come out of this better equipped for your new life as a woman! Not to mention it would be nice the have your family to rely on through your upcoming pregnancy.

“I couldn’t agree more mom! Where should we start?”
