🍒 Chapter 19: Ceremonies, Conflicts, & Conflagrations
This episode chronicles the final rupture of Cece's childhood home. After repeated conflict, her mother asks her father to leave and files for divorce, obtaining emergency restraining orders. Cece describes hiding her truck at Bryce’s house, the anxiety of hearing the garage door open, and a frightening incident where her father attempts to enter the house despite changed locks. She reflects on forgiveness versus forgetting, breaking cycles of resentment, and learning to stop being a “welcome mat.” The chapter ends on a pivot toward the wedding — signaling both loss and new beginnings.
