Chapter 10 - RACHEL'S OWN MISTAKE
Rachel had slapped Diane.
That mattered.
She did not erase it.
Her attorney told her:
“You were provoked. You were protecting your child emotionally. But you still struck her.”
Rachel nodded.
In mediation, she said:
“I should not have hit Diane.”
Mark looked surprised.
Rachel continued:
“But my mistake does not make yours disappear.”
Mark had no answer.
Rachel wanted Emma to grow up seeing something different.

Accountability without surrender.
Protection without pretending rage was always righteous.
