Your Honor, I'm Back

"On Thanksgiving, my husband Steven Mandel showed up with another woman.Not just anyone—Fiona Osborne, his first love. She had Alzheimer's and only remembered him.And yeah, he said she was moving in.Steven's eyes were ice."Erica, I stayed away from Fiona out of duty. But I'm not wasting what time I have left without her."Happy 50th anniversary to me. No gift—just a slap-in-the-face love confession.Maya, my daughter-in-law, tried to talk some sense into him, bless her.Then Anton—my own son—cut in."Mom already kept Dad away from Fiona for years. She's tied ME to you for half my life. Now Dad just wants to take care of the woman he loves—what's so wrong with that?"Steven stepped in front of Fiona like some kind of hero. "Anton's right. Erica, I let you play the wife role for decades. Now, I want to be with the woman I truly love."If you can't handle that, let's just get a divorce."I stood there, frozen.I'd walked away from a powerhouse law career for this family after we had Anton. I thought I had given everything, and in their eyes, I would be a perfect wife and a perfect mother.But today made it clear—I was never enough.No matter how much I gave, it was never going to be enough.I turned to Maya. She was crying. "You wanna get divorced together?""
