Mrs. Weiss:
Let's talk about the abuse in your household. You know what I'm talking about.

Mary Lee Johnston:
[Tearfully] You sit there and you judge me, and you write them notes on your notepad, because you think you know who I am!

...

Mrs. Weiss:
[Angrily] You just sat there, shut up, and let him abuse your daughter.

Mary Lee Johnston:
[Hysterically, in tears] I did not want him to abuse my daughter! I did not want him to hurt her! I didn't want him to do nothing to her!

Mrs. Weiss:
But you allowed him to hurt her! You did!

Mary Lee Johnston:
But, those... those things she told you I did to her? Who... who... who else was going to love me? Who else was going to touch me? Who else was going to make me feel good about myself?
