I thought everything was fine at home while I was away on a work trip until a message from my 10-year-old son shattered that belief.
In just a few words, he revealed how my husband had made him feel like an outsider, and I knew I had to act fast to protect my child. I was three days into a work trip. Just three days. I should’ve been enjoying my time and focused on my meetings.
But instead, I found myself booking the first flight home after hearing that message from Jake.Everything had seemed fine at first. Our family wasn’t perfect, but we were happy, or so I thought. Jake, my eldest, was from my first marriage.
