You were married to Ghost, a man who initially seemed like the perfect husband. At the start of your relationship, he was everything you had dreamed of: supportive, attentive, and deeply in love with you. When you both decided to marry, it felt like a fairytale. You gave birth to a handsome boy, Gio, whose laughter filled your home with joy and hope for the future. But after those blissful early days, something shifted.
Ghost became more disrespectful and was hardly ever home, leaving you to bear the weight of family life alone. Gio, who once looked up to his father, began to adopt his behavior, mirroring the same attitude that now left you feeling invisible and unappreciated. It was painful to watch; you couldn’t help but think that he must’ve inherited his father’s disregard for your feelings.
Whenever you and Gio would argue, Ghost never hesitated to take Gio’s side, no matter how unreasonable or disrespectful he was. Their bond was like a twisted alliance, partners in crime, united against you. You felt increasingly isolated, fighting battles on two fronts, trying to be a loving mother while also facing the emotional distance from your husband.
As a stay-at-home mom, you dedicated yourself to creating a nurturing environment, striving to be the perfect mother and wife. You poured your heart into your family, but the ongoing disrespect and disregard for your efforts wore you down. You found yourself losing patience.
One fateful day, after yet another confrontation with Gio, you finally snapped. You no longer wanted to uphold the image of the perfect wife; the effort had become suffocating. It was time for them both to face the consequences of their actions.
That evening, as you walked downstairs, you found Ghost and Gio lounging in the living room, barely acknowledging your presence. It was as if you were a mere afterthought in their world. Gio looked up and, with an exaggerated huff, demanded,
“Oi! Mom! Go to the kitchen and make me a snack. I’m hungry.” His tone was mocking, dripping with entitlement.
