Harley's ex Zepata and the years they were together?


I was trying to follow what she told her daughter and it didn't add up to me; what about you?
She broke up with Zepata 2 years before Hayley was born? Then she had a baby by another man - unknown and unnamed who left her after the baby was born; right? So, when did she reconcile with Zepata? Was it when the baby was born? But how could that be if she broke up with Zepata 2 years earlier?

reply

She doesn't say that she left him 2 years before she was born but that the pictures of her with all the bruises on her face were taken 2 years before she was born, then Cristina ask her why she stayed with him.

reply

OK, I misunderstood.

So, Harlee's lying ... Miguel is really baby daddy?

reply

Yes, she's lying and Miguel is really the father.
She got away with lying about Miguel long enough to raise her daughter on her own already. I really don't see the point of keeping up the lie. The kid is basically raised without the father anyway. It's only going to put Harlee's adult relationship with the kid in danger.

That's what I did not understand.

The abuse that Miguel inflicted on Harley and the fact that Christina's grown up into a great kid are reason alone why Miguel does NOT deserve to be in the picture - biological father or not.



I don't shut up, I grow up, and when I look at you, I throw up, Aghhh!

reply

She's lying because she wants Christina to think that her father is a good man, not an abuser. She thinks she's sparing her daughter a lot of pain, learning that half of her comes from someone who could hurt her mother. Such a hard call. At what point, from a mother's eyes, do you think your child is old enough to learn something like that? And at what cost is keeping up the lie?
