“My parents sacrificed everything for me. I finally built a life here, and you just expect me to abandon them.”

“Since you clearly cannot stand my parents, I figured I’d use my paternity leave to get them out of your hair.

We’re going on a trip for a few days.”

I literally could not believe what I was hearing.

I was two weeks postpartum, and he was using his paternity leave to go on vacation with his parents?

“Nathan, are you listening to me? The baby is sick! He has a high fever! I do not care about your trip, you get

back here now!”

I was screaming. His voice in response was cold as ice.

“You’re the one who said my mother wasn’t good enough. You’re the one who said my family was in the

way.”

“So… you handle it. Maybe after you’ve actually tried being a mother, all by yourself, you’ll finally appreciate

what they were offering.”

“And you will stop acting so… delicate.”

“We’re boarding. I’ll talk to you when I get back.”

I stood there, gripping the dead phone so tightly my knuckles turned white.

Feeling the heat radiating from my sick child, a single, bitter laugh escaped my lips.

Tears burned my eyes, but I forced them back.

And then I remembered fragments of a conversation from last night, whispering in the dark.

“Once she has the baby, she’s trapped. She’s not going anywhere.”

“She really thinks having a son makes her royalty now?”

“My son is the smart one. He found a rich girl who pays for everything. We finally get to live in a big house.

Her parents can fund our retirement!”

“Nathan, you have to be firm. This trip is a lesson. Ignore her. When she sees her tantrums are useless, she’ll

learn to be obedient.”

I thought it was a nightmare, just a product of my anger. But it was real.

Nathan. It seems all these years of me being agreeable, you forgot.

You forgot who gave you this entire life.

If I do not do something, they will keep thinking a woman today is as powerless as she was fifty years ago.

I immediately booked a car to the emergency room.
