Three years later when it was time to go overseas to compete in the Winter Olympics. She was happy to see her family including her father. Her father gave her a big hug. He told her how much he loved her and was proud of her. He told her that he was afraid that her real mother's laziness and chronic mental problems would be passed down to her. He even thought that she might not be his real daughter like her mother told him when she left. He thought she would leave just like her mother. He told her that Allison was told she shouldn't try to have any more children by her doctor. They put an ad in the paper for a lady who would be a surogate mother. No nasty things had ever happened between him and her birth mother.

He just didn't want her to grow up to be like her birth mother. Clarity told her father that she always loved and was loved by the only woman she knew as her mother. Her birth mother was always running around with other men who wasn't very nice. if her mother had told any of those men that Clarity was their daughter they might try to do some bad things. He kept her home and safe any way he could. All of the children was spanked when they did something wrong that warranted that. She just done them in front of the family.
