Perhaps because touching wasn't a part of our relationship, I never really felt like an ersatz wife. I think one message I got was that daughters were more important than wives. And that the other message I got was that you were loved for how good you were. I was smart and honest and Daddy could trust me with everything and talk to me about anything. While you can't really talk to Mother because of things like she won't admit there's a possibility that Bill Clinton didn't have scores of people killed. And she was sure the monthly checks to the phone company were actually to one of Daddy's relatives because his initials were the same as the acronym for the phone company. And he couldn't trust her because she stole money from her kids and forged his name on loan documents. And kept every newspaper we ever got after he mentioned that too many newspapers were piling up.
I may have gotten the idea that to be loved you had to be good.
