I was in a bad situation.
I protected my kids.
I secured a house in an impossible market.
I asked for help.
Then silence.
They said it was unnecessary despite their capacity.
I reached out to others who I thought cared.
They saw that as an attack.
They abandoned us.
It’s not just one single event.
It’s a lifelong pattern.
The only difference is
I stopped being complicit in their lies.
