“Time to do what?” I
asked.
“Time to leave!” he
said. “I’ve had it with you! I’ve had it
with all the crap. This leaking roof is the last straw! I’m outa here!”
“You’re outa here? What on earth do you mean, Jerry? How can you
be outa here? We are a family! We have kids
to raise! Have you lost the good sense you were born with?”
Jerry packed a bag and left
that very night. I know he went to her
house.
He thought he kept the
secret well but I knew. I’d known for a
few months but I was afraid to broach the topic. Instead I had been living in denial for some
time. Denial was a lonely place to
live.
But now, abandoned and
heartbroken, I lay alone, sobbing, on the bathroom floor. My tears mixed with
the water that overflowed the bucket. I
didn’t care. I wanted to die.
“Let me drown, God. Let me just drown in this mess!”
