“The French Riviera is so beautiful. Be safe. Love u.” – mum
If looks could kill, Pia would have scorched the damn phone.
Be safe – Really!
If she actually cared she wouldn’t have dumped her off at her father’s place, knowing well that the man was never home. That was the reason for their divorce, wasn’t it!
But no. Now his workaholism is ok, cause it keeps the alimony rolling in.
There was nothing that she wanted from Guess or Boss or even damn Louis Vuitton. But she sure could max out the credit cards she had flicked from her father’s wallet.
Maybe that would get his attention.

I suggest a vacation in Australia with bungee jumping, free fall parachuting and sub-aqua sports – all pre-booked of course, and paid for by the credit cards – might capture the attention of both parents, as well as being a load of fun!

Both mother and daughter do not like fathers working habit. But they love his money. Mother for alimony and daughter for attention. Nicely done.

Seems to me this poor young lady was born to a couple of self-absorbed narcissists. I say, go for the gold!

What a way to treat their daughter. Shocking. I want her to meet someone who becomes of personal, not monetary, value to her in France.
