No guilty confession.Financial betrayal therapy
Just one word in a kitchen that smelled like bacon grease, burnt coffee, and the kind of exhaustion only a new mother understands.
“Divorce.”
I was standing barefoot on cold tile with our two-month-old son pressed against my chest.
His parents were due at eight.
His sister had texted at 1:17 a.m. to remind me that his mother liked soft eggs and dry toast, as if I had not been awake since midnight feeding, rocking, burping, pacing, and trying not to collapse beside the crib.
