Chapter 15
Victoria changed.
Not for me.
Important.
She went to therapy.
Reduced control over Sophie.
Stopped coaching her social behavior.
I heard all of this through Sophie and mutual friends.
No reward.
No renewed engagement.
Growth belongs to the person growing.
Years later Victoria told me:
“I thought being chosen meant someone else had to lose.”
That was it.
Marriage as ranking.
Children as ranking.
Love as ranking.

She had lived her life trying never to be second again.
And nearly taught both children that family was a podium.
