“This is about you. This is about what you didn’t do. It’s about what I did. And you know what? I did a fucking great job. Debbie is class president. She’s on the debate team. Going to Nationals. And Lip. He’s top of his class. He set the curve. Ian was promoted in ROTC, and he tested out of English. And Carl made something blow up for his science fair. And you know what? They did it all, no thanks to you, because you weren’t here. Liam doesn’t even know who you are! You’re his mother — you were my mother, too! You know what? You’re right. You are their mother. And you’re here now. So I’m done. I’m done with the schools and the bills and the clinics. I’m done. They’re all yours now, Mom. Good luck.”
