My Ex-Husband's Greatest Regret
I felt completely, utterly numb.
I leaned my head back against the cushion, looking up at the ceiling beams, letting out a dry, humorless breath.
I’m sorry, Rose.
How convenient.
The ex-husband who had walked away from me, who had systematically dismantled our five-year marriage brick by brick, who had paraded another woman through our home and made her sleep in the bed I had made with my own hands. The man who had weaponized our seven-year-old son against me, who had stood in our living room and watched me beg on my knees with a brain tumor eating my skull alive, completely ignoring my cries and calling me lazy—that man was now writing me a pathetic little note.
