I messed up on the line "I didn't understand then i didn't like her." Is it to be read like "I didn't understand then. I didn't like her."?

First upload. I'm not sure of the standard approach but I corrected some grammatically incorrect English. Below is the text I read from:

Today, while attending the wedding of my childhood friend, I remembered some times during our childhood. How happy I was then; there was no sorrow, there was no pain to be felt as in the lyrics of "forever", a song by the band Stratovarius.

I still remember a girl next door. She usually came to my house to play. I didn't understand then that I didn't like her.

Once, she came to my house. I had just gotten off of the hammock when she got on but then she didn't allow me to sit back down when I returned. I told her, "get out of the hammock," but she didn't agree.

I was so angry that I threw a chair at her. It made her right eyebrow bleed profusely. Then I saw my mother carry her in her arms and they walked off somewhere. I sat in the hammock and kept on eating. I was four years old then.

I sorry, i have mistaken in the sentence "I didn't understand then i didn't like her".It had to been written "I didn't understand then why i hated her."
