Because her mother turned out to be a snake doesn’t mean we should TAR Pauline WITH THE SAME BRUSH. Pauline’s mother was a WOLF IN SHEEP’S CLOTHING, outwardly kind but inwardly vicious. She had cheated on, TOOK ADVANTAGE OF, and FAKED OUT her close friends for years. She hid her real malicious intent and pretended to be harmless. But in reality, she caused five dear friends to TURN INTO enemies, three couples to SPLIT UP, and two small businesses to CLOSE DOWN. Now Pauline is GETTING INTO DEEP WATER since everyone knows about her mother and her rotten history. Pauline can’t get herself out of the loop of hate and resentment that people have toward her and her mother. LET ME SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT, yes sometimes, the children pay the price for their parent’s wrongdoings. Unfortunately, that is what Pauline has been going through since her mother’s true colors have been shown.
