Oh, Shez…
It’s so sad seeing the contrast between her now versus how she reacted when her other sisters were born. This poor kid lost her childhood so fast and so early.
I cried then the meme made me laugh.
Shez no 😢😢😢😭😭😭 you’re already taking on responsibilities nobody should have to take, and setting goals for yourself that border on impossible for a child. It’s not your fault, and you’re not alone. It hurts, but you’re not doing it alone.
This… really puts into perspective the way she talks to Jaden too. Jaden blames herself for everything that goes wrong in her life, and even though Shez has only seen her beat herself up for needing help fending off the AGPgang, it must remind Shez of herself.
Young Shez has one good woman in her corner, and current Jaden has more. But when someone gets stuck taking a lot of responsibility at a young age like they did, it can be really hard to notice that.
(And since Chris’s presence necessitates doing things in secret, that makes it even harder to notice. Meriam is still squirreling money away and making certain preparations Shez can’t necessarily see, but that’s exactly it – Shez doesn’t know the full extent of them.)
I imagine when Shez is comforting Jaden about that night, she’s thinking of what her younger self needed.
