Why bother to show her mom the bruise?



Why did she even bother to show her mom the bruise on her neck, if she's just going to lie?

That girl really confused me.

But her mom can't help her if she doesn't know anything is wrong.

because troll, she thought her mom would be concerned. But then she was clearly afraid to tell her Bobby was hitting her

Um, I'm not a troll but thanks for your input. I'm a regular poster on this board, and this is what's called a post.

flatux, I think lindseyd310 must be referring to the deleted post because your post can be anywhere near a troll post.

I think it was lindseyd310's post that got deleted.

Stacy didn't show her mom on purpose. She was sitting down with her back to her mom. Not really thinking, she pushed her hair aside and that's when her mom saw the bruise.

No, I got the distinct impression Stacy showed it on purpose. Watch her facial expression as she does it, making sure her mom is facing her neck.... and keeps her hair that way till her mom sees it.

Then when her mom asks her what happened, she stutters a bit & then lies.
She wanted her mom to sit down & dig deeper, which she did.

Stacy was likely about to tell her the truth when Rod showed up, and Stacy chickened out yet again.

Hmm, yeah, that's a good theory. I never thought of that. Stacy's mom acts more like a friend than a parent, and that's a shame.
