Life After Vanessa Left
The living room overflowed with medical supplies and Aiden’s toys. A heavy silence hung in the air. I couldn’t shake Vanessa’s words from that morning.
“James, I can’t handle this anymore. I want my life back.”
“What do you mean?” I asked, stunned.
“Aiden… I love him, but he’s a burden. I’m leaving.”
My voice broke. “He’s our son!” But she was gone. That day, Aiden and I became each other’s world.
