Now were down to real life, and is this better than the way she was living before?
How does a woman in mid-life with this kind of history join a productive society?
A lot of her identity is based on her reflection off of a man, Going says.
Shes always finding her self-worth attached to men or what she can get from men.
And it just so happens that Christina can get more from men than from hard work.
Or at least, thats how she sees it.
However, as she found out this week, money isnt always enough.
Shes really crashing, wondering is there any point to her existence, Going says.
Shes trying to get her life together and does not know how.
But how will this overdose affect her relationship with her sons?
If its not the last straw, its pretty close to the last straw, Going says.
Often times, the angels in our lives are the ones who shut the doors in our faces.
However, Jay might not be there just quite yet.
Instead, its Nate, the younger, quieter brother, who finally makes his feelings known.
Is there anybody who is strong enough to save you?
Is there hope for Christina?
Or is she doomed to repeat her mistakes?
According to Going, If she can find something useful to do, there is hope for her.
