The weight of the revelation was crushing. Amy had always seen her parents’ marriage as stable, and now her world was falling apart. Fueled by anger, Amy confronted her father. “How could you lie to me my whole life?” she shouted. Her father, visibly upset, admitted his mistake. He explained how he and Amy’s mother had a difficult period, and during that time, he made a terrible decision. Though he had stayed with Amy and her mom, he had supported his other daughter, Jenna, in the background. Amy stormed off, tears streaming down her face.
She couldn’t believe what had happened. Everything she had believed about her family felt like a lie. As she reflected on her father’s actions and her mother’s forgiveness, she began to understand that her father had been scared of losing her and her mom. After calming down, Amy decided to call her dad. Still angry, she told him she understood why he hadn’t told her earlier, even though it hurt. They agreed to start over, and Amy expressed her desire to meet Jenna properly.
