My Wifе Lеft Us, Саlling Оur Sоn А ‘Вurdеn’ – 10 Yеаrs Lаtеr, Shе Shоwеd Uр Аnd Dеstrоyеd My Lifе Аgаin

“Dada, blocks!” he exclaimed, laughing and fluttering his hands.

I placed the blocks in front of him and observed his attempts to stack them due to his restricted movement. I gained strength from times likе these. All of my problems—tiredness, financial hardship, insomnia—went away when I witnessed Aiden’s growth.

One evening, Brian came over with a six-pack in hand. “You holding up, man?”

“Trying my best,” I sighed. “It’s not easy.”

“Vanessa’s a piece of work, leaving you guys likе that.”

Yes, I mumbled. “But I’m not gonna let her mess with us anymore.”

James, you’re doing fantastic. You’re lucky to have Aiden.”

I nodded, attempting to convince myself of it. Our neighbor Lucy would frequently stop by with food and volunteer to watch the kids. I had no idea how I would handle things without Brian and Lucy.

A decade went by. Vanessa sent me an email one evening. I gazed at the display, my heart racing.

“James, I regret everything. I want to see Aiden. I made a huge mistake. Please.”

I was filled with rage. How could she? following so many years?

“What’s wrong, Dad?” Wheeling himself into the room, Aiden questioned.

“Nothin’, little one. Simply said, adult material.”

That night, I had trouble sleeping. It was frustrating to imagine Vanessa waltzing back into our life. However, a part of me questioned whether Aiden had a right to know his mother.

We gathered at a tiny café. Vanessa appeared more aged and worn out.
