I Skipped My Son’s Wedding—and Spent the Entire Day With His Ex-Wife.

91

When my son called demanding to know where we were, I said simply, “I’m at your ex-wife’s house. You were a terrible husband, and I’m ashamed of you.”

He hung up, furious. He hasn’t spoken to us since.

Sometimes I wonder if I overreacted. But then I look at Tina—tired, hurting, but still trying her best—and I think… maybe I didn’t react enough.
