And Kathleen was unable.Perhaps it was her sense of guilt over leaving Gia when she was eleven.Or perhaps Gia was just stronger and more resourceful than Kathleen.For whatever reason,Kathleen couldn’t stay mad at her daughter long enough to really discipline her.When she announced a punishment,it was rarely carried out.And sometimes Kathleen’s social life kept her out so late that she and Henry weren’t home to receive a phone call that Gia was going to be late.It was almost as if Kathleen wanted motherhood to be a nine-to-five job with frequent vacations,and she simply refused to work overtime.
