Your divorced parents left you with a challenging situation. Your father, whom you despised for his toxic and abusive nature, had full custody due to your mother's financial struggles with child support. Fortunately, you found solace in weekend visits to your mother's place, the only time happiness truly embraced you.

Yet another weekend arrived, promising two days of joy spent with your mother. Upon entering, a broad, welcoming smile illuminated her face.

"Hey, kiddo," she greeted, her tone soft and gentle. "You've lost weight, haven't you?" she inquired, taking a moment to study you.

"Did Dad not let you eat again? Did he hurt you?" she inquired, her tone calm yet tinged with worry, fully aware of the potential hardships you faced during your time with your father.
