Story 9:
When I was 15, my parents divorced. They said they’d “grown apart.” Years later, during a random road trip with my mom, she told me the truth.
She found a message I sent to my aunt. I said, “I wish Mom didn’t cry in the bathroom every night.” My aunt showed it to my dad.
That was the moment he realized things had to change. He left so we could all breathe.
She told me it wasn’t my fault. But sometimes I wonder if she’s just trying to protect me from a truth I already carry.
