Lust vs. Love vs. Intercourse Part 2

The girls had no idea what to say. They never had this type of discussion with their parents before and some had the same situation as Ariana had described. Some parents hated eachother and in turn hated their children as they were the offspring of the one the scorned. In some cases the children were neglected, left to their own devices or worse, beaten until they were a breath away from death.

So many of the girls looked down and hugged themselves as they shivered uncontrollably. They found excuses to not go home or often hide away from their parents. However, Ariana's words rang in their heads. The stopped shivering and came to an epiphany. If they took the bad their parents did and used it as a what not to do guide then maybe life with a loveless marriage wouldn't be so bad. They could give the unconditional love they never got, life could get better.
