Quote #10
"It was pure torture for Sissy. She and—and the father, well, they didn't get along at all. They were two selfish egos living in the same house. Both of them were spoiled babies. Both of them needed someone to take care of them. Gigi did. She smothered them with care." (26.58)
Ouch. Miracle may want to imagine her parents being young and in love and happy, but that obviously was not the case. With both of them forced into a marriage neither of them wanted any part of, it's no wonder contempt and anger grew so rapidly in this family.
