Husband you've abandoned me Fine I'll focus on raising my son novel Chapter 9

Chapter 9: New Job

"How can I when they are saying horrible not true things about you?" he asked me angrily.

It touched me to see how much Tony cared for me.

Keith even if you hate me, Tony is completely blameless so, for you to completely discard him is disgusting. I thought to myself. I told Tony the truth the of the situation, but it was wrong that he had to accept the situation. He had done no wrong. He didn’t ask to be born. No child should be told to accept that their parent doesn’t want them.

What’s funny is Keith took Diana and her son in because he felt guilty for abandoning them. Now in turn he was abandoning his other family to make space for them. Just ridiculous.

"Do you still want to go to school tomorrow?" I asked him. After getting into a fight I thought perhaps he needed a break since he wasn’t doing well.

"No, I’m fine mum. I can go," he told me. I looked at his face for a moment studying his eyes.

"Alright then," I accepted his answer.

After putting Anthony to bed I left his room, did one final check or house doors before going to my room.

I went to bed that night conflicted. I didn’t know what to do about Anthony. My heart was telling me to get him out of that school. He was being bullied ruthlessly and his he was feeling down. I was so worried for his mental health. Considering my past life it seemed like he was able to get through the bullying, but he suffered a lot. I imagine he was in so much pain for so long and I wasn’t there for him. At a new school he wouldn’t have to worry about all that.

At the same time my heart was telling me that my mind was telling me he should stay. That school was the best in the country. It had state of the art resources and graduates would receive tonnes of offers to excellent universities. In my past life I would have loved to see which university he went to since he only had one year of high school before graduating at 17. However, that wasn’t worth his mental health deteriorating.

Nonetheless, it was Tony’s call to make. As much as I so worried for him I didn’t want to only do what I thought was best for him given how that panned out in my past life. I wanted to hear him out as well.
