Isolina never took him to Rosalinda because she was afraid of what Katy may say when she was under the influence that my father, who was deceased is now a Mimosa tree that is why I didn't wish to return

My comment:

Katy seems schizophrenic or mentally unstable so she blurts out some things that makes Isolina uneasy.

"Isolina doesn't ever take him/it to Rosalinda because, as Katy had once told her that I was now..."

My comment:

"En su momento" refers to a specific point and time in the past... it's akin to saying Katy 'told her at one point in the past' (which sounds a bit weird in English.

As Katy used to say in her heyday (?)

My comment:

I need more context : for instance, is Katy dead by now? Who is Isollina? even the notion of time is not quite clear to me here.
