"I knew. He didn't know about it, but once I explained it--he knew, too. You can feel it on a level so deep that your mind cannot argue the fact."
Tasha is one of her two dearest friends, not counting Will, on the Enterprise, and so Deanna is open about this part of her past as she's been with no one else. "If my mother had not been manipulative and interfered, we likely would have married. We certainly would have been together. But my mother...gets what she wants most of the time. And I was not strong enough to stand up to her until it was too late."
She doesn't blame only her mother or herself. But this part of the discussion doesn't need to be gone into in more detail.
Deanna thinks for a moment. "Are you even vaguely familiar with Native American religious beliefs and philosophy?"
