00:00After I started high school, my mom gave me $5,000 a month as pocket money.
00:04My bestie got so jealous that she tricked me into swapping souls with her.
00:08She ran excitedly toward that black escalade like,
00:11Oh my god, the rich mom is going to be mine from now on!
00:14I quietly picked up her old canvas backpack and climbed into her mom's used Honda Accord,
00:19secretly breathing a sigh of relief.
00:23God, finally, I got away from my mom.
00:25Just before school let out, Jessica handed me a Starbucks and said,
00:29This is the first time I'm treating you.
00:30I saved up my allowance all week to get you the biggest size.
00:33Hope you don't mind.
00:34I hesitated for a sec, then politely took it and had a couple of tiny sips just to be nice.
00:38Thanks, it's really good.
00:40Right after I said that, a white light flashed in front of my eyes.
00:45When I opened them again, I freaked out.
00:47I had swapped souls with Jessica.
00:51Jessica, what the?
00:52Shh.
00:54From now on, you're Jessica and I'm Sophia.
00:58The rich mom is all mine now.
01:00The rich mom is all mine now!
01:02Looking at the excited Jessica, it suddenly dawned on me.
01:05Not long ago, she'd borrowed two bucks from me for lunch and accidentally saw my six-fidger
01:09bank balance.
01:10She was so shocked, she counted the digits over and over.
01:14Sophia, how the hell do you have so much money?
01:16My mom gives me five grand a month.
01:17It just piled up.
01:18Your mom is loaded.
01:20What does she do?
01:21She runs a few companies.
01:22Wow, that's insane.
01:23You're so lucky.
01:26Jessica sipped her Coke and grumbled.
01:28My mom's a stay-at-home mom and super stingy.
01:30She only gives me five bucks a day for lunch.
01:32That's the only reason I had to borrow money from you.
01:34I stayed quiet, staring at the cola in Jessica's hand and swallowing hard.
01:39Because ever since I was 10, I've never drunk any beverages again, nor have I ever tasted
01:43the flavor of happiness.
01:48After that day, Jessica kept telling me she was so done with her mom and wanted to be
01:52my mom's daughter.
01:53I thought she was just saying stuff.
01:55But I never expected she'd literally swap souls with me just to steal my mom.
01:59Sophia, just accept it.
02:01You and I are never swapping back in this life.
02:04While I was still spacing out, Jessica had already chugged the rest of that spiked drink
02:08and sprinted toward the black Escalade that picked me up from school every day.
02:12Watching her bouncing silhouette, I slowly shouldered her old canvas bag, spotted her mom's gray
02:17Honda in the crowd, and secretly let out that sigh of relief inside.
02:22God, I finally escaped my mom.
02:25Jess, something good happened today?
02:27Jessica's mom opened the car door for me.
02:29She had no makeup on, wore a pair of worn-out sneakers and a black hoodie.
02:33She looked kind of thin and pale, but the way she looked at me was crazy gentle.
02:37Yeah, I just suddenly figured out this problem I couldn't solve before.
02:39I answered while sliding into the back seat and accidentally caught my backpack strap on the door handle.
02:44Jessica's mom saw it, stopped the car right away, and helped me untangle the strap.
02:48She didn't scold me at all.
02:50Instead, she pinched my nose playfully and said,
02:52You're such a little kid. Now sit tight.
02:55I sat up straight like she said.
02:56The tip of my nose where she'd touched felt a sudden sting.
02:59Since I was 10, I've been living on my own.
03:01My mom's super busy, flying all over the world.
03:03She never picked me up from school or let me waste her time acting cute.
03:06We haven't touched each other in forever.
03:07Our conversations were like CEO to intern.
03:10She gave orders. I executed.
03:12If I did well, she'd wire money.
03:14If I messed up, there'd be punishment.
03:16Thinking about all the punishments I'd been through, I shivered.
03:19That bone-deep fear instantly spread through my whole body.
03:21I quickly calmed myself down inside.
03:23Don't be scared. You're Jessica now, not Sophia.
03:25You won't have to go through that anymore.
03:27Back at Jessica's place, it was even smaller than I'd imagined.
03:31The living room was kind of messy,
03:32with kids' picture books and Lego pieces all over the couch.
03:35Oh right, Jessica told me she has a little sister, who's not even three yet.
03:41Jess, you still mad at mom?
03:43Jessica's mom took out a shoe box and put it on the coffee table.
03:46Those shoes you wanted, I saved up and got them for you.
03:49Check and see if these are the ones.
03:51I opened the box.
03:52Inside was a knock-off pair of Golden Goose sneakers.
03:55I knew for sure it was fake, because just last week, my mom bought me the real ones,
04:00and ordered me to wear them to school on the 15th of every month.
04:03Even though I hated those shoes, I numbly followed her orders and wore the Golden Geist on the 15th.
04:08Back then, Jessica noticed my new shoes, looked up the price online, and sulked the whole day.
04:12Jess, did mom get the wrong ones?
04:14I looked at her hopeful eyes and felt a warmth rising in my chest.
04:18No, it's just, one of my classmates has the same pair.
04:22Could I pick out something else instead?
04:24Of course.
04:26Here's my phone.
04:27Add whatever you pick to the shopping chart.
04:29I gotta run to the neighbors to pick up your little sister first.
04:31She handed me her phone and headed out.
04:33So she had to leave her younger daughter with the neighbors every day just to have time to pick up
04:37her older one.
04:38But a 17 or 18 year old girl can totally take the bus to and from herself.
04:41She didn't really need to drive me every day.
04:43Was it to save a little on gas?
04:45I stared at her phone.
04:46It was an old iPhone from three years ago, with two cracks on the screen.
04:50The lock screen and wallpaper were both photos of Jess and her little sister.
04:53You could tell she was crazy frugal and loved her two kids to pieces.
04:57This is so nice.
04:58A mom this great is gonna be mine from now on.
05:00Because I picked out cheap shoes and patiently read picture books with little sis,
05:05Jessica's mom made a huge plate of spaghetti and meatballs to reward me.
05:09That night, for the first time ever, I ate dinner however I wanted.
05:13I grabbed whatever I liked, ate as much as I wanted,
05:16instead of sticking to those scheduled, portion-controlled meals my mom forced on me.
05:20All those nutritious diet meals that ran through my whole teenage eves,
05:23they were perfect, but ice cold.
05:25Organic ingredients delivered from Whole Foods had zero motherly warmth.
05:29They couldn't even compare to this plate of homemade meatball pasta,
05:31cooked with so much love.
05:33Jess, what's wrong?
05:34You feeling okay?
05:35No, it's just...
05:36Mom, your meatball pasta is so freaking good,
05:39I almost can't bring myself to eat it.
05:41Silly girl.
05:42Have more if you like it.
05:43I'll make it again tomorrow.
05:47My eyes started stinging.
05:49Something broken inside me for a long, long time slowly began to heal.
05:54So this is what it feels like to be loved by a mom.
05:57Like a spring breeze in California.
06:00Like the California sun in winter.
06:02But just when I thought I could slowly pull myself out of hell in this cozy home,
06:06Jessica's mom got into a huge fight with her husband, because of me.
06:12Two in the morning, the sound of the front door lock turning came from the living room.
06:17Jessica's mom quietly slipped out of bed.
06:21A girl, five bucks isn't enough for lunch?
06:24Jess loves meat.
06:25A single meat dish in the school cafeteria is three or four bucks now.
06:29Sometimes she needs stationery too, it's really not enough.
06:32A girl, five bucks isn't enough for lunch?
06:34Why the hell does she need more food money?
06:36Jess loves meat.
06:37A single meat dish in the school cafeteria is three or four bucks now.
06:40Sometimes she needs stationery too, it's really not enough.
06:43I work hard all day, you know? I'm not made of money.
06:45That's not the point, Mike. She's a growing girl.
06:47If she's so damn good at spending money, forget school and go work as a cashier at Walmart!
06:52It went quiet outside.
06:54My heart was pounding like crazy.
06:56I couldn't believe a father could say something so vicious.
06:59Mike, three years ago you made me quit my job to have a second kid,
07:02promising me three grand a month for house expenses.
07:04Two years ago you said money was tight and cut it to $2,000.
07:07This year you only give me $12,000.
07:09So please make up the $2,000 and I'll add more for our daughter's lunch money.
07:13You three! Nothing but a bunch of money grovers!
07:15You can't even give me a son, why should I spend $1,200 keeping you?
07:17I could keep a dog outside for $1,200 and at least it would wag its tail at me!
07:21Another stretch of suffocating silence.
07:23I thought after being humiliated like that she'd definitely ask for a divorce.
07:27But she didn't say a word.
07:28She just walked back into the room, completely crushed.
07:32I squeezed my eyes shut immediately.
07:34She didn't notice I was pretending to be asleep.
07:36She tucked the blanket around me, sat down beside me, and silently started crying.
07:40In that moment, I suddenly understood why Jessica wanted a rich mom so badly.
07:44The next morning, Jessica's mom apologized and told me,
07:47The neighbor had something come up and couldn't watch Little Sis, so I'd have to take the bus to school
07:51yourself.
07:52Mom transferred $10 to your Apple Pay. $2.50 for the bus, the rest is for lunch.
07:56Wait, not $5?
07:57Last night, Jessica's dad had clearly refused to increase her lunch money.
08:02You're still growing. I can't skimp on your food.
08:05It's only an extra $2.50 a day, like $60 or $70 more a month. I'll cover it.
08:09Jess, don't hold back at school. Buy whatever you feel like eating.
08:13The rough callus on her fingertips gently froshed with Keefe. A little itchy. Little pain.
08:18I couldn't help it and hugged her.
08:19Thanks, Mom.
08:20She froze for a second, then patted my back and mumbled,
08:23You silly kid. You're acting like a completely different person.
08:26I snapped back to reality instantly. I couldn't believe she'd noticed so fast.
08:31I practically fled the house and pulled out my phone, which I hadn't taken out all day yesterday.
08:37Unlocking it with Face ID, Jessica's messages started popping up one after another.
08:41My etiquette teacher just praised me, said I've improved a ton. I got three A's in French oral
08:46class. If it were you, you probably wouldn't get a single one, right? The shrink is so cute,
08:51LOL. She actually seriously told me to get more sun. My life is so happy. Even if it rained every
08:56day, it wouldn't touch me. Hey, hey. You know what? The butler just reported to my mom that I
09:00aced all my Tuesday targets. Mom was super satisfied and randomly ordered me a Chanel Haute Couture set.
09:06Chanel Haute Couture? What's so great about that? There are over a dozen Haute Couture pieces
09:10hanging in the walk-in closet. Those expensive, fancy clothes are less comfortable to me than a
09:15school uniform. Because the second I put on those couture pieces, my whole name just becomes Mrs.
09:20Walker's daughter. At those suffocating social events, I couldn't even own my own feelings or
09:25facial expressions. Jess, your mom couldn't drive you again today? Olivia from the next class called
09:31out to me. Her sympathetic voice pulled me out of those bad memories. I froze for a second, gave her
09:36a
09:36smile and said, yeah, my mom has to look after my little sister. How come you're not mad today? I
09:42thought you hated your little sister. Sister, read it. Hate my little sister? Jessica's little sister is
09:49like a squishy plush doll. When she blinked those big eyes and called me big sound her baby voice,
09:54my heart just melted. Why would Jessica hate her? Was it because of money again? On the bus,
10:01I kept reading G the messages from Jessica. Mom's coming back from Europe next week. When she does,
10:06I'll tell her I want to transfer back to private school, then go study in Switzerland. We've been
10:11besties for three years, so I guess we've got some kind of fate. As long as you keep everything about
10:15my high school years a secret, I can give you a chunk of hush money before I leave. Late at
10:20night,
10:20she sent a photo of the sparkling city view from her bedroom's floor-to-ceiling window.
10:24Jealous? This is the penthouse top floor you'll never, ever reach Jessica.
10:28Jessica. A life you'll never, ever have. The last two messages came five minutes ago.
10:34Princess has transferred $20 to you. Jessica, just saw you waiting for the bus. Your mom ditched you
10:39for your little sister again, right? So pathetic. Hurry up and Uber to school. I'll wait for you
10:44in the classroom. I hit receive and turned off the screen. It looked like Jessica had adapted to
10:49the Sophia identity perfectly. She could accept those tasteless custom health meals, those intense,
10:53suffocating three-on-one tutoring sessions, and that empty, lifeless home with no
10:58family or warmth at all. She was basically the perfect daughter tailor-made for my mom.
11:03My mom always wanted a daughter who obeyed her orders with AI-liked precision.
11:08After seeing Jessica's performance yesterday, she's finally satisfied, I guess.
11:14Wait. Something suddenly hit me. I gripped my phone, cold sweat still seeping from my palms
11:19out of pure fear. Jessica made re-three fatal mistakes. I made it to school just in time,
11:25dropped my canvas bag, panting. Jessica, who was scrolling through TikTok, glanced up at me.
11:30You took the money. Why didn't you take an Uber? I frowned, snatched her phone, and nervously
11:34closed the short video app. Hey! Stop scrolling. Something bad's gonna happen. What could possibly
11:39happen from scrolling TikTok? Jessica glared at me, annoyed. Give me back my phone. All your social
11:45accounts are monitored in real time. There are cameras all over the house. She knows every single
11:49thing you do. I took a deep breath, trying my best to sound calm. You know what? You made three
11:53fatal
11:53mistakes. Knowing her personality, we're both screwed. You're just a little girl to her. She can
11:57get rid of you anytime. Stakes? My performance last night was absolutely perfect. Even the butler
12:02didn't notice anything off. Who are you trying to scare? I'm not trying to scare you. Can you just
12:05listen and- I don't want to hear it, Jessica. Give me my phone back right now, or I'll make
12:09you buy
12:09me a new one. I was speechless. Suddenly, a guy's arm reached out. Ryan, the football captain Jessica had
12:16been crushing were forever. Snatch the phone from my hand and smoothly hand it to her. Sophia,
12:19got your phone back for you. Oh. Jessica took the phone lukewarmly and placed it on the table.
12:26Ryan had no intention of leaving, though. Blushing, he asked quietly, Sophia, I heard you're really good
12:31at chess. Want to play a game after lunch? Nope, I'm busy. Jessica flat out rejected Ryan's invite.
12:39After putting her phone away, she flipped open her AP English tux book without even glancing up at
12:44her former crush. I didn't get Jessica's reaction either. Just the day before yesterday,
12:48she was deliberately creating coincidental meetings and hoping to be in the same group
12:52as Ryan in gym class. How could she change so fast? Why is she being like this? She was all
12:57over him yesterday, and now she's acting like he doesn't even exist. I'm going to take over Walker
13:02group someday. Ryan's nowhere near good enough for me. Noticing me staring, Jessica smugly lifted her
13:07chin. In my eyes right now, he's just like you. Nothing but an insignificant grain of sand,
13:12not leaving a single trace in my life. I realized Jessica had completely bought into being Sophia,
13:19and right now, she was totally enjoying everything I used to hate. This was exactly what I'd hoped
13:24for. As long as she could keep fooling my mom, we could both live the lives we wanted.
13:30That day, I warned her over and over that Catherine was nothing like the model mother described in
13:35Forbes magazine, but a cold-blooded, ruthless monster. But Jessica kept thinking I was just trying
13:40to drive a wedge between them because she'd stolen my mom. In the end, I had to give up.
13:47I spent the whole afternoon writing down all 121 house rules in a notebook and gave it to her.
13:52But before she even looked closely, she tore those pages to shreds.
13:56I'm not falling for this. This is just your way of trying to steal your life back.
13:59Even if it is true, I don't need your reminders. I'm confident I can make mom accept me. Maybe mom
14:04will notice I'm a little different from before. But that's just me changing after realizing my past
14:07mistakes. From now on, be a well-behaved, sensible daughter. I've read your text history and I
14:12seriously don't get it. How could you want a mom who's just there by your side? I'd only feel
14:16grateful and heartbroken for my mom working her ass off out there every day. If my mom gave herself
14:20up to housework and kids like some stay-at-home housewives, I'd just be living like a homeless
14:24person, not even having bus feet. Jessica wasn't lying. Once during a downpour, her mom forgot to send
14:29her bus feet and she had to borrow two bucks from me. Right then, a message popped up on my
14:34phone.
14:34Honey, mom's helping the neighbor with some cleaning. Can you take the bus home by yourself?
14:38I made your favorite Italian dumplings today. If you're hungry when you get home, boil some first.
14:42Even though she'd forgotten the bus fare again, I held my phone. And I don't know why, but just
14:47thinking about how she'd wrapped dumplings specially for me made me feel all warm inside.
14:51After school, Jessica noticed I was about to take the bus. She stopped me, all high and mighty.
14:57Your mom ditched you for your sister again? So pathetic. This young lady will transfer you
15:01another 20 bucks. Take an Uber home. Without waiting for my reply, she bossily spent over
15:0520 bucks, then ran off to that black Escalade without looking back. I took the money, but had
15:10zero plans to take an Uber. Jessica's family isn't well of. Her mom even cleans for neighbors to earn
15:16extra cash. I wanted to save the money and give it to her.
15:21It was peak rush hour after school and work. The bus was totally packed. A bunch of students got on
15:26and
15:26off, but it stayed crazy crowded. So much that I didn't notice some guy in a baseball cap had
15:31been standing next to me for several stops.
15:36Hey, it's you. Sorry. Lost my balance.
15:41He acted like he knew Jessica, greeting me all casual. I pressed my lips together, said nothing,
15:46and turned my back to him.
15:49I thought that'd keep me safe, but his hand crawled onto my waist like an ant.
15:53Little girl, let your uncle just hold on, okay?
15:56Every hair on my body stood up. Instinctively, I grabbed that hand and held it tight. The Brazilian
16:00jiu-jitsu I'd trained since I was a killed finally came in handy today. I finally got why Jessica never
16:04wanted me to take the bus. She'd definitely been harassed too, which was why she made her mom drive
16:08her every day. But the second her mom couldn't pick her up because of some small thing, she was back
16:12in danger. But why didn't she ever call the cops or tell her family about this?
16:16What's going on?
16:18Three hours later, I got my answer.
16:20Jess, go home and take a shower first. Mom's got to pick up your little sister.
16:23It was already 9pm when Jessica's mom brought me home from the police station. Looking at her
16:28puffy, red eyes, I felt so guilty. Truth was, I didn't get the short end of the stick at all.
16:33I actually kicked out two of that guy's front teeth, but she kept blaming herself the whole
16:38time for not picking me up.
16:41I need to report a case of harassment. My daughter was followed home from school today.
16:45Honestly, she did amazing. She rushed to the station right away in a dirty apron, trying
16:49her best to keep it together and handle it rationally.
16:52This is already the third time, isn't it? No one can do anything to me anyway.
16:56She lunged at him, trying to hit him, but two cops immediately held her back. Struggling,
17:00she screamed, I looked at this tiny woman, and I saw something I'd never seen before.
17:04During all this, she called Mike. The response she got was, you're an embarrassment. Get your
17:08ass back home now. Honestly, I wasn't surprised by her husband's insane reaction anymore.
17:13What I didn't expect was, the second I opened the front door, he flew into a rage, rushed
17:17over, and slapped me across the face.
17:19You stupid brat out there seducing men all day! I told you to go back to Texas and marry
17:23my friend's son. His family promised to buy me a pickup truck, and now it's all ruined!
17:26And you knocked out two of his teeth! I'm not paying to afford it, go single cent for
17:30you! If you can't afford it, go sell yourself! I'm so damn unlucky, stuck with you three jinxes!
17:34He didn't give a damn about what his daughter had been through. He actually thought her being
17:37harassed was just an embarrassment for him.
17:39Mike, have you lost your mind? This isn't her fault at all, it's that pervert who hurt
17:43our daughter!
17:43You said to lay a son, it's all your fault for insisting she go to high school! What's
17:46the point of girls studying? It's being treated like-
17:50Mike, that's enough.
17:52What, Emily, you want a divorce? You can't bear to leave these two little Brits? Don't
17:56forget you've got zero income right now. How the hell are you going to survive with two
18:00kids?
18:00That half-hearted resistance just brought an even more vicious beating from Mike.
18:04I'll teach you to fucking talk back to me!
18:11Jess, murder is against the law! Pete, please stop fighting!
18:15Big sis hug!
18:18Don't be afraid, Mom's here.
18:19The room fell silent. Mom soothed little sis and went to check on Mike. Frustrated, I grabbed
18:24her.
18:24Mom, can you just divorce him?
18:25Jess, just focus on your studies. Kids shouldn't meddle in grown-up stuff.
18:29In that moment, I felt so disappointed. But soon, I figured out what was holding her back.
18:33I took out my phone and texted Jessica. Lend me 500 bucks. Dad's violent. We have nowhere
18:38to go.
18:38Wednesday night at 9.30, she should have just finished her business management class. Knowing
18:42her, she'd start scrolling her phone the second class ended. Sure enough, within a minute,
18:46she replied.
18:50I snapped a photo of Mike lying unconscious and sent it.
18:58It's okay, Emma.
19:03I calmly locked the screen. Years of harsh training had taught me to quickly steady my emotions
19:07in most situations. But this time, I was scared. Mom, if I stay here any longer, I'm scared
19:12I won't be able to stop myself from killing Dad. Can you come with me and stay somewhere
19:17else just for one night? Let's go. We're leaving right now.
19:27We spent the night at a Hampton Inn near school. The next day, I got to school even earlier
19:32than Jessica. You're not hurt?
19:34No. I suddenly remembered all the bruises that randomly showed up on Jessica over the
19:39past past three years. I lowered my gaze a little.
19:42What? Can't believe parents like that exist? Then let me tell you, your hard days are just
19:47beginning. And don't you dare dream of saving your mom. She's long used to this life, and
19:51she's convinced she's staying for the kid's sake. Mom agreed to a divorce. Impossible.
19:56She doesn't have the guts to divorce. If you don't get a divorce, I will stop going to school.
20:00A daughter is Emily's weakness, but she can also be her armor.
20:04Emily really does love Jessica.
20:06Do you want your daughter to go to the magnet school? Fine. Resign and have a second child,
20:10and I'll sign the papers.
20:11I only found out when I threatened to drop out to pressure her into a divorce. Three years ago,
20:15she'd agreed to quit her job and have a second child just so her husband would let Jessica go
20:19to this highly ranked magnet school. Jess, you can't drop out. Getting into college is your...
20:23She was afraid of losing custody, but she was even more afraid of her daughter marrying young
20:28like she did and going through the same painful life. I bet right. Even though she wasn't ready
20:32at all, she still promised me, as long as I kept studying, she'd get divorced. Loving your kids
20:37more than yourself, maybe that's a trait of most stay-at-home moms, unlike Catherine,
20:41who only cares about herself. I gripped my pen, wanting to write something to calm down.
20:46Jessica, you must really want to swap back. That's why you're telling me all this?
20:49Don't waste your energy. My mom comes back in four days, and then I'm off to an elite
20:53private school. Congrats to you then.
20:56I didn't tell her what was waiting for her in four days.
20:58On the very first day of the swap, Jessica made three fatal mistakes. First, she got three A's
21:03in French oral class. The reason I never got A's in my other courses was that the second I did,
21:08Catherine would raise the bar, except for oral class. Even if I wanted an A, I couldn't get one
21:13because I'm not good at expressing myself. Most of the time, I just quietly listened to the teacher
21:18and avoided talking as much as possible. Second, she opened the curtains. After mom and dad divorced,
21:24she made an enemy out of the Morgan family. All these years, the Morgans have been spying on us,
21:30so my curtains have never been opened, and they're not allowed to be opened. That night,
21:34when Catherine saw on the surveillance footage that Jessica had opened the curtains and was
21:38standing by the window taking photos, she definitely got suspicious. Third, she took
21:42out her phone at home. Every corner of that house has cameras, including the bedroom.
21:47So I never take my phone out after I get home, because the punishment for wasting time is beyond
21:52terrifying. I never want to go through that again. And Jessica sent me all those messages that night.
21:57She's about to face my mom's harshest punishment. That's Catherine's style. Cold,
22:01with clear rewards and punishments. You can eat. She allows you to mess up, and she won't correct
22:07you right away. But she'll use other methods to make you remember that mistake forever,
22:11making you submit to her completely in despair. I told you, junk food is forbidden. Since you ate it,
22:17swim for two hours and burn that junk off. Half an hour later, I collapsed from exhaustion and nearly
22:23drowned. If the doctor and assistant hadn't been watching, I'd probably be dead. This went on from age
22:2910 all the way to senior year. Eight whole years. I'd reached my breaking point long ago. I never
22:35imagined I'd accidentally swap souls with Jessica. Since she likes Catherine so much, let Catherine be
22:40her mom forever. The next day, halfway through class, I spotted Laura, the assistant, outside the
22:45classroom. Sophia, your mom called in a leave for you. Like the fading at the school gate, you can head
22:50out first. Jessica was too excited to notice. She thought her rich mom was taking her to a private
22:54school. She looked at me smugly. We won't be seeing each other again. I didn't respond. Every muscle
22:59in my body tensed up, my mind replaying over and over whether I'd done anything wrong. Even though I
23:06was Jessica now, my fear of Catherine was like a nightmare I just couldn't shake. The second I hear
23:11her name, I get physically sick. The moment I see her, I'm like a drowning fish, gasping for air.
23:17I can only breathe again once she's gone.
23:20Same this time. It wasn't until I watched Jessica get into Catherine's Maybach and saw that car drive
23:26away that my tense nerves finally started to relax. But deep down, I silently prayed, I hope Jessica
23:32really can do what she said, get Catherine's approval, and those two can be locked together
23:36forever as mother and daughter. The next day, Jessica didn't show up for class. The day after that,
23:42she still didn't come. I tentatively asked the counselor if Sophia had transferred schools.
23:50No, Sophia's mom said she's sick and needs to rest up at home for a few days. But the counselor
23:54said,
23:54sick? Rest up for a few days? When I ran away from home in eighth grade and got caught, Catherine
23:59used the exact same excuse with my counselor. Then I got thrown into the reflection room. The reflection
24:04room was a converted first floor guest bedroom. No windows, just a chair, a desk, and a bedpan. Once
24:10locked in, I had to write self-criticism letters every day, exactly as Catherine demanded. And I
24:15wouldn't be let out until she was satisfied. There's a huge chance Jessica's been locked in
24:20that reflection room right now. I hope she just repents like a good girl. If she stubbornly refuses
24:25to admit fault, the butler and other staff will all be sent in turns into the reflection room to
24:30persuade her, eating, drinking, and doing their business right there with her. It's as terrifying
24:34as it gets. But the butler and staff all volunteer for it. They get a $500 bonus for each day
24:40they
24:40spend in there. Only I got breakdowns and despair out of it. The more I thought about it, the more
24:45freaked out I got. The second school let out, I bolted back to the rental. Jess, your dad and I
24:50went to the courthouse to file for divorce today, and Walker Group sent me a job interview invitation.
24:54I really didn't expect them to give me a shot at 37. Mom, 37 is nothing. Walker's a woman-friendly
25:01company. A lot of employees are women over 40, including plenty of stay-at-home moms returning to
25:05work. You'll see when you get there. I haven't worked in three years. I don't know if I can do
25:09it. Mom, relax 100%. Walker has onboarding training. HR will decide based on that whether
25:16you start work or keep training. If you really can't handle the current position, they'll reassign
25:20you based on your here strengths. Really? Jess, with all the school stress you're under, you still
25:26specially help mom look into work stuff. Mom really feels so bad for you. Mom, you were always too scared
25:32to divorce before, but now that you've actually done it, don't you see divorcing's not that scary
25:36and going back to work's not that scary either? Once you take that first step, the way ahead clears
25:39up. You're right. If I really want what's best for you and Emma, I need to set a good example
25:43for you
25:43both. A bad marriage isn't worth hanging onto or missing. Even if I'm almost 40, I still have a
25:48chance to fix my mistakes. For my daughters, there's nothing I'm not willing to risk. Just for her
25:53daughters? I actually wanted to tell her she could make these changes for herself too. But in that moment,
25:58I thought of Catherine again. I can understand the perseverance and pressure of a working mom,
26:02and I can understand the hard work and sacrifice of a stay-at-home mom. But I'll never ever understand
26:07Catherine. She wouldn't spend time with me, yet controlled me every second. She was like a truly
26:12pathological extreme. After dinner, I pulled out my phone and casually opened Instagram. Right then,
26:20I scrolled onto a live stream of the Walker Group's Lakeside Charity Auction, and I was shocked
26:24speechless. Not because this event, usually fixed in winter, had suddenly been moved up by over half a
26:29year, but because Catherine had not only brought Jessica to the event, but also allowed her to
26:34answer reporters' questions freely. Jessica was wearing that new Chanel haute couture Catherine
26:39brought back from Paris, looking like a proud white swan. It seemed like she and Catherine were
26:43getting along pretty well. This can't be, just as I thought. Jessica, who'd been elegantly answering
26:48questions suddenly snatched the microphone from the host? Catherine Walker, you're a goddamn through
26:54and through psycho! Sophia, why are you calling Mrs. Walker a psycho? She's your mother. She's not
26:58my mom. She's insane. Look at this, and you'll see just how crazy she is. Even blood sugar has to
27:04be
27:04monitored in real time. No wonder it's pushed her to this state. For three days straight, Catherine locked
27:10me in a windowless reflection room and played videos of my life after age 10 from morning to night.
27:14I wasn't allowed to eat or sleep until I finished them, but those videos add up to over 3,000
27:17hours.
27:18How could I possibly finish that? She wants to drive me insane. She just wants to push me to death.
27:23Mrs. Walker, is what Sophia said true? Our group always claims to be a woman-friendly company.
27:27Doesn't this behavior smack of abusing a minor?
27:32First, my daughter was born on January 31, 2007, so she's already an adult. Second,
27:37teen girls can be a bit rebellious, and my daughter is no exception.
27:41Catherine, this isn't rebellion. In just three days, I'm already on the verge of a breakdown.
27:45What normal mother installs this many cameras at home to spy on her daughter?
27:48What normal mother enforces 121 house rules on her daughter?
27:51What mother uses a lie detector on her daughter, forces her to undergo hypnosis?
27:55And what normal mother edits together a complication of her daughter's failures,
27:58mistakes, moments of fear and tears, and plays it over and over to torture her whenever she misbehaves?
28:03Catherine, you're not normal. You're a monster. You need to see a psychiatrist.
28:07Sophia, the one who needs to seriously see a shank is you.
28:10Dr. Nelson's psychological evaluation report shows you're currently severely suicidal.
28:21Truth is, I'd done this before, too. Exposed Catherine as a control freak in public.
28:26It was totally useless.
28:27My mom's an expert at mental torture.
28:29I had no physical evidence to accuse her of abuse.
28:32And most people didn't buy it, either, that Catherine, who championed women supporting women,
28:36could treat her own daughter in such a sick way.
28:38I had no physical evidence to accuse her of abuse.
28:38I had no physical evidence to accuse her of abuse.
