The question I asked — “Do you know what illness she has?” — was more than just a confrontation. It was the unmasking of truth, the breaking point of our marriage, and the moment I chose myself and my daughter over a man who had betrayed us both.
Betrayal can destroy, but it can also clarify. It taught me that loyalty is priceless, that trust once broken is nearly impossible to repair, and that sometimes walking away is the only path to healing.
