"Tell that to Alice, the happy fifties housewife version of my mother," Kate answered dryly, as she gestured vaguely at the photo album. Of course Alice had been the one to make something like that for her, because Alice always had the most to apologize for. T might terrorize Marshall and Buck made life hard for her dad, but Alice was always the one that Kate had the most trouble with.
"She only made that album to apologize for basically calling me a slut," she said, even though Alice had never actually used that word. There had been others, though, words that had hurt a lot and then there had been the soap. It was all pretty distant now, but she still remembered it sometimes. And it still stung. Kate knew it wasn't her mother calling her those things, that Tara never would have done any of that, but it was still hard to separate things when Alice looked so much like her.
"It felt really shitty," she admitted. "Don't let anyone make you feel that way. They're wrong."
