Hard things at home: broken promises, silence, money and illness, sentence 3

All week he said loudly, "I don't care if he comes," which was a shield over a hurt; a parent who keeps breaking promises is struggling with his own problems, like work, money or feelings, and it is not a measure of what the child is worth.

Who acts: Jayden, parent, child · What happens: say, not care, come, be, keep, break · To what, where: shield, hurt, promises, measure · Speech: someone speaks here
