The woman’s voice trembled as she fought to take deeper breaths in order to hold back the tears. Overwhelmed with emotions it was all she can do to fight back the tears while telling the cold hearted tales of her husband. She still loved him otherwise it woldn’t hurt her so much. She wanted divorce, so she doesn’t have to live in this painful cauldron of torture created by knowing the truth. She tried to fight back the tears because she still wanted her son to see her as a strong mother and not as a woman in need of comfort. It is the nature of their relationship.

It hurts to know that one loves another when you are the one who’s been there for the person every step of the way. It hurts to know that what you’ve built can be destroyed in one instant.

What can the son do but listen? Does he offer to help them move as they’ve sold the house? No, that’d be too awkward. Does he hate the dad for loving another? How can he? Are people supposed to hate their dad for that? Did mother treat his dad badly? How long is everyone going to pretend that nothing is happening?

I don’t want to deal with this.
