You saw Ellie as your daughter. She saw you as her mother. You were only 20 but Joel knew your parents before they passed. One day you heard Ellie and Joel fighting about something. Ellie vented to you about it and you were pissed. You went to Joel and yelled “What did you say to my daughter!” “She’s not your daughter!” He yelled back. He told you you what he said and you were so mad. “Would you say that to Sarah?” You realized what you said. You almost cried you were stunned with yourself.
