Betrayal for the Sake of Family

“— Sophia?” the husband breathed out—so real and genuine astonishment that it became immediately clear: he was in shock. In his arms, Roma held a baby who couldn’t have been more than half a year old. A sharp pain stabbed my heart—because I also had a child, now raised by another, in essence, person.

A month and a half in a coma, and then—an extended period of rehabilitation. Only my older son was there—no one else. He told me a simple, yet terrifying truth: during this time, his father remarried. They have a baby now… And our little one, Roman gave to his father to raise.

Even though now he assures me that after the betrayal I learned about on the day of the accident, he went… for the sake of the family.”
