Every time his son comes over, my husband asks me to disappear from my own house to please his ex – until one day, I didn’t follow the plan.
My husband, Scott, has a 6-year-old son, Ben, from his previous marriage.
One day, he told me:
“Sweetheart, I think it would be better if you went to your parents’ house on the weekends.”
I blinked. “What?”
“Patricia doesn’t want Ben to be around you. She says it will confuse him. If she finds out you’re spending time with him, it will complicate things. I just want peace.”
It didn’t sit well with me, but I didn’t want to be the reason Scott lost time with his son.
So, every weekend, I packed my bags and left my own house.
