English term or phrase: to be on the receiving end
Tami had recovered enough from the itial shock to send him a pretty good glare. It looked real familiar, maybe because I'd been on the receiving end of a carbon copy very recently. "Jesse! He `s your son, isnt' he?

Mi propuesta:
ya se había recuperado del shock inicial y le envío una mirada bastante clara. Me parecía realmente familiar, quizás porque había estado expuesta hacía muy poco a una reproducción fiel de ella.

Sugerencia para el texto general:
Tami se había recuperado del shock inicial lo suficiente como para lanzarle una firme mirada, que resultaba muy familiar quizá porque yo mismo/a ya había estado del otro lado hacía muy poco. Jesse, es tu hijo ¿no es así?
