That's how I feel now, again. Lost and found and lost again, all at once. (23.4)
It seems that Lena's mother just can't win. She betrayed Lena by giving her a happy childhood. Then she betrayed Lena by committing suicide. Then she betrayed Lena by not actually committing suicide. And finally, she betrayed Lena by escaping from the mental institution and not contacting her. If Lena ever meets her mother, will she forgive her for these betrayals, do you think?
