Married To My Best Friend's Husband[Plead To God]
"Okay, mija. Tell me what you need. Not what the boys need, not what Jeffrey needs. What do you need?"
The question catches me off guard because I've spent so long prioritizing everyone else's needs that I can't remember the last time I thought about my own. "I need Jeffrey to come back. I need him to understand that he's not replaceable, that he's essential to our family. I need Sandra to go to prison so we can all move on. I need the boys to be okay. I need to stop feeling like I'm drowning." The words come out in a rush and I realize how desperately I need all these things, how much I've been white-knuckling my way through each day hoping that eventually things will get better.
