'Maybe i've shouldn't have said that to her...no, she's the one overreacting! My mom said the same thing to me and i didn't react like that...i'll see you at the tennis club.' Amanda says before hanging up and pouring a glass of wine.
It's 5:00 somewhere, she reasoned and drinks it, behaving like she usually does when something that one of the kids or Michael does to piss her off!
The anti anxiety meds would kick in soon, she told herself.
Everything will go back to normal...yeah, when hell freezes over!
Denial is stronger than alcohol and meds combined but Amanda didn't care!
She had already convinced herself that she was justified in saying that she didn't want another child after her older kids were born!
She was just ignoring the fact that she had turned into her own mom...when she used to be like her dad.
Maybe that's why she resented Carly so much because unlike her, Carly refused to change who she is because nothing was wrong with it.
Meanwhile (Ashley's p.o.v)
I knew from the second that Johnny brought those kids to the clubhouse that the youngest one would try to take him away from me!
Yeah, i haven't been a faithful girlfriend but i still love him and i never meant to break his heart! If i had never slept with Billy all those years ago, Johnny and i would still be together today.
Maybe i'm lying to myself.
Maybe Johnny and i were never right for eachother.
