Did I Do Right By Her, Or Drag Her From Family And Her Birth Path
I joined a group of women providing mentorship to young high schoolers from underprivileged homes. I was paired with Clara (no real names to protect the innocent). Clara is a Hispanic girl, father doing forty to life for killing a clerk during a robbery, mother hard pressed with six children, only two with the same father. Poverty is one word, destitute another. Clara had never worn new underwear.
I took Clara at fourteen, two grades behind. Naturally curious, innately intelligent, somewhat pretty, too thin and skinny, never been to a dentist or eye doctor, medical school nurse and one visit to a pediatrician. My first task was to 'fatten' her up. Her family was not impressed and did not support my interference.
By sixteen Clara was at grade, she liked science and did better than grade in math. She was now filled out, and ran track. I had moved her in with me. An innocent well intentioned decision, I now had her sleep with me at night. I tried to avoid overt sexual affection, but I fell short. By the time she went into the twelfth grade she was my bedded partner. Affectionate and attached to me, we were mother and daughter, and sexually active.
Clara attended a respected Christian Academy and was accepted at a respected Christian college. Her days away at college were long and empty. Her grades were good, she blossomed as I grew lonely. When she brought a girl home, my heart hurt deeply, she had found love.
I am now an old woman, my Clara and she is mine, is happy, productive, and self supporting, and distanced in time, geography and intellectual faculty from her birth family. One day perhaps she will opt for children, I very much want her to. Spoiled, my grandfather's wealth protects her.
But I recognize two faults, one taking her from her family, and two inducting her into a life with women when she was still so tender.
