Bethany POV
Dad and Pam came and gave me the news. I am a little bit mixed up with my feelings. This is my family who hurt me, and I feel betrayed. I know they have never really shown any interest in me and have more or less ignored me and used me, but they are still family, and I am going to send them to jail. I feel a little guilty about that. I do not understand what I had done for all this to happen and wish I could understand. My need to be true to my family was more complicated than I thought. Kitty said it was like many battered women. They are loyal to the one causing the pain, believing they will change and that they really do love them. I am not sure if I can cope with going through that type of beating again.
Why do people act like that? I don't think I will ever really know
