Something like that? Sounded like sound advice to her.

"The truth is, I can't answer this for you. People do things without any logical reason that we can see sometimes. YOur mum is the only one that can answer those questions. And until you are prepared to ask and she prepared to talk I have no idea," she said in all honesty as she released Alice from the hug and tried to wipe her tears away best she could.

Smiling a bit sadly she shook her head. "The BEST advice I can give you is to focus on making yourself happy right now. Try to deal with it, work through it and get past it. Then you can help your dad deal," she offered with a nod. Yes, that was the key.
Alice looked at Lexi just longing and wishing that she could somehow make this all better. She had no idea how nor was it really fair for Alice to look at her that way but she couldn't. She wished that if she asked her mother why she left and why she was doing this that her mother would answer, but Alice knew better. Alice knew that there was no way that her mother was going to explain any of this to her, but Alice was done needing her to.

"I don't need her to explain it to me, I need her to explain it to my father," Alice said, wiping away a tear with her sleeve. "He's the one that needs her to say something. And Lexi...my father is all that I have. If something happens to him I'll have no one. I have no other family that I can turn to...I'd have no home left if something happened to him."

Make herself feel happy first? Alice's face showed nothing but confusion. How could she make herself feel happy knowing what she knew?

"Make myself happy?" Alice whispered, it coming out more like a question than a statement. Alice looked at Lexi, hoping to find some kind of answer in her eyes, but sadly she found none. She knew Lexi understood and she could tell that Lexi was still trying to find an answer herself.
