After a Family Trip Without Me
Our wedding anniversary also happens to be our son's birthday. A month in advance, I carefully plan a family trip for the three of us—me, my husband, and our son.
But right before we're supposed to leave, both of them suddenly disappear on me.
I'm left standing alone in the pouring rain, dialing their numbers.
On the other end, my son's young voice comes through, sounding cold and impatient. "Dad's having dinner with Ms. Moore. We don't want to go anymore."
The call ends, and I'm blocked.
Later that night, they intentionally lock me out of the house. I'm left standing in the freezing cold all night long.
Soaked from the rain, I come down with a high fever and develop pneumonia.
Meanwhile, my husband and son are off vacationing with Sophia Moore, smiling for a happy family photo with just the three of them.
And in that moment, I know this marriage has truly come to an end.
