I don’t want revenge. I don’t want to be heartless. But I also can’t pretend the past didn’t happen or teach my son that love means tolerating the people who broke you.
I need to know how to move forward without betraying myself—how to set boundaries without drowning in them. How to be fair without forgetting the girl they abandoned. Note: This story is a work of fiction inspired by real events.
