With that paragraph, what was important to me was showing that Tyra used to have a real, loving life, even if it was never, ever perfect. Because I always felt that she had to have lost something, totally, to have been broken like she is, instead of having nothing from the beginning. So I'm very glad you liked that part.
Because Tyra is so much more perceptive than anyone in Dillon wants to admit, and all the more so when the push her to the outside I so ridiculously agree with you there. That's exactly how I see her.
but he's doing it "wrong" for the right reasons, because they are just barely getting by, and he's working hard for even that, and it's all so much of life rather than Angela's fancies. Exactly! *loves that we're on the right page for this*
Although, I don’t think that Angela is completely blind to Tyra--if it comes down to it, Angela is still a mom somewhere down there with all the other parts--but I can see, overall, where this comes from, because Tyra really has to drag it out of Angela. I'll agree with you there. I think this is how it would feel to Tyra, and I really like the way you phrased it about "dragging it out," because that's exactly what I was going for.
But, it's your writing, and you make me *want* to buy it. This is fundamentally unfair :p Haha! You crack me up!
But seriously, I used to hate Lyla, too, but I'm starting to like her more in Season 2--or at least be able to understand where she's coming from--even if I haven't finished the season yet. But I was just thinking of all these girls I know who were literally best friends all during their growing up years and then high school arrived and they suddenly hated each other--it happens again and again, and I could sort of see it with Tyra and Lyla, but I can understand if you couldn't, sure.
