I'm Done Being Your Family

After Allison Blake cheated on me with my best friend, my mom took my side and accidentally blinded Allison in her left eye. My dad was even more furious. He choked Trevor Hayes until he passed out. Allison wanted to press criminal charges. I begged her to let it go, and she gave me an ultimatum. "First, I'll end things with Trevor and come back to you, and you'll never bring up divorce again. "Second, you can only see your parents once a year. The rest of the time, you're not allowed to visit or spend time with them." I agreed. From then on, I only saw my parents on New Year's. This Thanksgiving, Allison was away on yet another business trip. I bought some pumpkin pies, planning to sneak over and visit my parents. But outside the door, I saw my mom massaging Allison's shoulders. "I hit you a little too hard back then. It's a real shame about your eye…" Allison didn't seem bothered. "It's fine. With Tristan's temper, he would've divorced me if you two hadn't helped me. This works out pretty well. Your place has become a safe haven for Trevor and me. It's nice and safe here." Trevor poked his head out. My dad opened the door just then, telling them that dinner was ready. Watching them all get along so well, something inside of me died. Perhaps Allison had forgotten that I still had a copy of the divorce agreement she signed when we got married.
