What would you do if your child no longer wanted you as their mother and preferred your husband's lover to take your place?
Admittedly, my husband's first love is a captivating woman. She has captivated not only my husband but also my son.
In my darkest moment, a little girl with autism clings to me, declaring, "I choose the mother Nigel rejected!" I realize then that, like a dazzling rose, I can flourish even amidst desolation.
As I transform into the woman I'm meant to be, my ex-husband and son become haunted by regret. One day, my ex-husband calls to say our son yearns for his mother and confesses he still loves me.
Defiantly, I reply, "I am no longer his mother." At that moment, a devoted admirer fiercely kisses my hand, possessively questioning, "Do you think you're worthy of the goddess I've yet to claim?"
