Son,
I don't think you get it.
I don't think you understand her.
Her guard is up and son, this only happens when a woman has loved someone so deeply with all of herself, that it literally in the end broke her.
She literally ended up in shackles behind the bars of pure betrayal.
She's just protecting her own heart for further destruction.
Woman that seem hardest to love, in most cases deserve it the most.
You may not understand this son, but it was your mother that taught me this lesson.
