Christine, 26, had a picture-perfect childhood and was best friends with her mother Robin until her Senior year of high school, when her mother went through a terrible divorce and completely fell apart.  Not only did Christine lose all the material things from her previous life but she was left taking care of not only her siblings but taking care of her mother too.  When Robin started dating again, she chose her boyfriend’s sides over her children.  This was the last straw for Christine, and she cut her mother out of her life.  Christine and Robin have just started speaking again over the last year but cannot get through a conversation without an argument as decades of traumas on both sides constantly bubble up.  Now a Sales Manager and focused on her future, Christine hopes this retreat can bring her back together with her mother.
