Seeing Joanna's visceral pain, Wendy stood straight and offered a deep bow to the camera. "Everyone, I am so sorry for letting you see this mess and for taking up public resources. I just want to say to my daughter: everything in the past was my fault. I failed you. I broke your heart over an ungrateful snake. Whether you forgive me or not, from now on, Natalie is the only daughter I will ever love."
In the live stream comments, the audience wasn't buying it.
Late motherly love is completely worthless! It doesn't erase the trauma!
Treating your biological daughter like an outcast while raising a stranger? She doesn't deserve forgiveness!
Abandoned for over a decade, and treated like trash when she returned. Who needs this kind of mom? Late motherly love is worthless, how can it heal those deep wounds?
She's practically a monster. This whole apology is just performative! Look at Joanna's attitude, like mother, like daughter. I know Joanna; her mom seduced Mr. Wilson and wrecked a perfectly good family.
The pain of abandonment cuts deep. This apology is a joke! Raising a stranger over your own flesh and blood, I'd rather have no mother at all!
Late motherly love can't erase the shadows of the past. I would never accept her back!
The comments flew by in a blur of outrage.
Wendy didn't care. A mistake was a mistake. Doing this was her way of apologizing to Natalie. Regardless of whether she earned forgiveness, she had to do it.
Watching Wendy bow and then finally cut the feed, Joanna tipped over the edge into pure, unadulterated fury.
She grabbed a heavy glass from the table and hurled it straight at Wendy's face.
Wendy quickly dodged, the glass shattering against the wall behind her.
