My husband promised me a tropical anniversary getaway after years of putting everyone else first. But when we arrived, my mother-in-law grabbed our ocean-view suite, sent me to a cramped room with the kids, and David let her. That evening, she burst into my room screaming, “YOU HAD NO RIGHT!”**
Twelve years of marriage had worn me down.
Three kids, a demanding job, and a husband who took me for granted clung to me like humidity.
I barely recognized myself in the mirror anymore.
